what is the most lightweight TQ?

I'm just being my typical nerdy old self, but because price and weight are generally inversely proportional: Obvious questions most salesmen would ask are would you consider synthetic insulation or is it too bulky and heavy and what is the maximum weight you are willing to haul in your backpack? For a standard length TQ.

I got a little laugh at how your auto correct messed with you on the word standard. Apple's new IOS 8 is allegedly better at that. Samsung is infuriating.

Haha a Walmart down bag converted into a TQ might do the trick!

For $70 you can't beat the price, even if you don't convert it. The Walmart Store around me can't keep them in stock.

Some people here at HF posted how they found the previous model of WM down bag there on sale for only $30 and my penny pinching habits got me excited, but I never found one. The $79 or less for the newer ones is still a good deal. They pack very small, weight listed at 0.44 lbs, they list it as 32*F which means it is good down to 40*F for most people. Personally, i would at the least remove the zipper. Dang, zipper up my spine is no fun.
