    Older Northface Down bag. What to do?

    Stopped at an Estate sale today and came across an older Northface sleeping bag. Wasn't priced and when I asked the lady she ask if $7.00 sounded good. Oh yeah! Never sat it back down. Per the tag it is stamped with "Chrysalis", 77" x 31", net wt. of fill material 17 oz., all new material consisting of Grey Goose Down.

    Now what to do? I have a set of WL summer series with 3/4 UQ which under most conditions here in Florida is adequate. On a couple of Florida Hangs we have gotten down to the mid 20°F but not often enough to need a 20° UQ or TQ.

    Just checked the WL site and their shells are 20° and for those rare occasions might be nice. But may only be used a few nights a season.

    Make a set of lighter UQ and TQ to supplement the summer series for when needed. Not sure how well stacked UQs and TQs work.

    Check with Marty about a set of summer series shells? Not on the site but Marty is great to work with.

    Any opinions or suggestions on my options?

    Thanks for the offer but I've been kicking around some ideas.

    I think it would make a great top quilt project.
