OK just bought one to test out :) figure have to try it to know
and been hanging out side a bunch here so even once I get some nicer down UQ will be a good one to have around anyway I figure and again I say you have to try something to really know

figure my 5 year old wiggle worm might be good for him and a synthetic bag he is using a big agnes down and pad and its working ? so maybe keep him in that and use this quilt ?

having to kit out the whole family can get $$$$ so saving where I can is handy and if it hits 20 our dogs cant take it anway (African Basenjis) so we try to keep it 30 and above and prefer keeping it above 40

I sleep insane hot wife sleeps insane cold at home she has two down comforters on I have a sheet ;) so figure she will get a sweet overstuffed 0 degree UGQ to keep her warm


anyway will share back when I get it going and test it out

arrived today :) OK its much smaller than I thought it was going to be packed size ?
agree with others who have said how can this have the rating it does the loft is not huge :) but for the money seems like a decent deal so happy with the purchase

will only get a chance to have mid temps nothing low for a bit

for what we do with car camping have to say opens up the idea depending on temp ranges etc.. to be able to have a lighter temp rating setup around on hand still plan on ordering some 0 degree UGQ in a bit so will be fun to compare what they are like at say 40 degree for comfort and what will be needed as top insulation

also ordered the XL snake skin :) OK HUGE but wanted to try the idea with the kids setup to have everything ready to roll in place ? figure it was worth trying out
