    I said I’d follow up on the lower temps… Sorry it’s taken so long.

    Well, I’ve had it out in as low as 28 degrees over this past winter. The Epiphany worked as well as I’d hoped for. I haven’t been...

    @Tosh

    I don’t know exactly how humid it’s been, but I am in Florida… In the cooler months it’s a bit better, of course, but it’s relative. To tell you the truth, I don’t think the down gets wet at...

    First follow up:
    I've been out a couple of nights w/o shelter, but the temps still were only in the mid 40's. It's Florida, after all. I have to say, I love this quilt more each time I use it. With...

    I've made myself an underquilt that's about 2/3 20*. I like it pretty well. For me it's about light and small packing. I don't mind putting a jacket that I'm carrying anyway under my legs.

    I think when it comes time to clean this one, I'll just use a damp cloth. Maybe a little soap on the cloth if needed. I won't put it in the wash, that's for sure!

    So far, I've only paired it with...

    Photos added to Gallery

    Doodad:
    I've added a few shots of my Epiphany hanging under my HH. I put a couple of backpacks in my hammock... that helped, but it doesn't fill it out quite like I do, of course.

    Also, I spent...

    I should also share that I heard from Tim on the size discrepancy that I originally noted. It seems that I may have accidently received a 5’6” version. I’m not hung up on the mistake; it happens.

    Sidwinder:

    The temps I expect to use this in are from the mid-teens to the mid 50's. Above that I'm not sure I could be comfortable. I really do think it's flexible enough to work throughout that...

    I just got an Epiphany from Enlightened Equipment. I love it. 20 degree pluse VBL (mine is cuben). 1 lbs, packs reasonably well. I don't stuff it as tight as I could... It's the .33 oz veriety, so I...

    My quilt is lighter than my bag, but I wouldn't say it's changed my hike. What it has changed is my sleeping. That's improved because I can move now... I'm more comfortable.

    I've only just got a top quilt. Until now I've used my sleeping bag, mostly unzipped as a quilt. I have used a Hennessy Double Bubble reflective pad and/or the Hennessy Super Shelter under cover for...

    @WV - I'm using .33 oz cuban for the baffels, so there will be some tape involved in connecting them. I need to check carefully to see if there will be any peeling forces. If I can avoid that, great....
