New Comfort Temp rating Chart @ Arrowhead-Equipment.com

Hey all.

So it seams that there is more and more talk and confusion about what 4 season, 3 season and so on actually means and what you're getting for your dollar as it relates to different temp ratings from various companies. So in an effort to try and help make it as clear as possible what you get from AHE when you order one of our quilts I worked up a new Temperature comfort range chart last week. I posted it to the KAQ main page in the store as soon as it was done but with all the talk today I thought it would be good to post it here.

So this is for all KAQ models. The cool end of the spectrum number is where we would have listed the rating in the past but I felt it would help some to also be able to get a perspective on how warm you can go without overheating and needing to vent.

In more and more discussions many folks tend to believe that 4 season is meant as year round and I wanted to make it clear that most folks are not going to want a 4 season quilt for more than the colder months of the year. 4 season is technically the same range of temps that you see in 1 season quilts but shifted to the cold side rather than the warm side of the temp range that UQ's are effective for.

Hope this helps some but please holler if it brings up any questions at all.

Nice chart. Where I do 90% of my camping I can use the 3 season on a lot of summer nights! Lol.

Thanks, Hope it helps folks to very clearly get a good idea of what to expect for comfort with a KAQ

Same here. In ID most of my camping is up around 8000' and we can see temps into the 20's any night of the year. A few years back I made myself a summer set of quilts for a trip down to Arizona in June. 4 nights of camping and about 20-30 in the house nights is all they have been used for.
