    Synthetic Summer Quilt Set

    I made a quilt set using 2.5oz Climashield and Argon 67. TQ is 72x50 and UQ is 60x52. Both weigh about 12oz and along with my diy hammock with topcover pack down into a plastic grocery bag. I will just stuff it all into the bottom of my pack. I'm looking forward to trying 'em out next weekend on the AT around Roan Mtn.

    Thanks! It was some good thread injecting practice. That Climashield is not the easiest, but I am pretty proud with the results.

    Good work in these, and nice weight.
    What do you (or others with similar gear) think about usable temp range?
    How did you do the footbox on the tq, is that a zipper?
    Cheers

    Thanks ya'll. I'm hoping to test their temp range next weekend to around 40f. I'm mostly hiking around southeast US, and this time last of year is too warm for my 20deg sleeping bag and temp lows too unpredictable for using just my bag liner. This will be a nice in between fit for me. Yep, that's a zipper.

    When I take my 2.5 stuff down to 40f I have to wear my jacket to bed in order to stay warm enough. I think I sleep cold though.

    We'll see. I'll have some layers just in case. I sleep pretty warm in our humid area.
