I was all set to pick up one of the Z30 long quilts on sale now, but the Underground Quilts sale has me considering a 20 degree Flight Jacket that is available for 10% off if you get the 700 DWR duck down. After paying local sales tax on the Z30, I'm guessing there is only about a $25 premium for the 84" Flight Jacket once the discount and shipping is added.
The Flight Jacket comes in about 6 oz. heavier, but I really like the DWR down and shell. I'm guessing based on ratings and fill weights that the Flight Jacket is a warmer quilt, even though others have commented that the Z30 may be conservatively rated at 30 deg.
I also like supporting the vendors on this forum, so I am just trying to justify spending a few extra $$.
Thoughts/ suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
