I am looking into buying a Loco Libre set and I am getting confused because there are reviews, questions, etc mixed in the "Reviews" section and the "Other Vendors and Services" section and they are all mixed with all the others.

Since Loco Libre doesn't have a forum section themselves, I started copying them together so I can read and compare. I think they are all from the past 12 months so fairly current. There are about 20 threads here, but there are actually many more. Just ran out of time.

Thought it might be helpful for other people so, here you go.

Wow!!! TY sir!!! I plan on selling most of my quilts and other stuff to buy Loco Libre ghost pepper stuff this spring. a full set of both 20 * and 0* quilts. I've seen several in person now and the quality is amazing. That chevron baffle is just way too schmexy to resist! :) I'll be reading up on these and looking at pics to get an idea of the colors I want.

Love mine. Can any moderators explain the process to get a manufacturer their own tab? It seems silly that Loco Libre is a staple name and is stuck in limbo on the "other manufacturers " tab?

The standard line for the last few requests for LocoLibre's own forum is there's simply not enough traffic/posts for them to have their own forum. I disagree :)

I can't wait to get me a set. So much good stuff out there from all the other vendors, but George is at the top of my list. I wanted a synthetic but the more I look at it, the more I rationalize getting down. :)

If I was to buy two sets and those would be all I have, I would buy a 0* and a 40*. There has never been a time where I brought my 0* and wished I had my 20*. Anything below 40* and a 0* would work fine. This way the 40* and the 0* get about equal usage, instead of using the 20* 66% of the time and the 0* sits every night except for the really cold ones. Plus you save some more weight for those warm spring/fall and summer trips!

Love my Loco Libre 40* ghost pepper! Just my opinion.

Love my Loco Libre 40* ghost pepper! Just my opinion.Same here. I always take my 0° in winter and my 40° in late spring/summer/ early fall.

+1 on this thinking. Had been using a 40*bag, but just ordered a 40* quilt set to replace it & now I can't wait for it to arrive!

Yes, the wait is the hardest part but I've finally learned that you need to order your quilts in the opposite season that you need them so I order my winter quilts in early summer and summer quilts in early winter.
