I was looking for a top quilt to use for warmer weather and jumped in and snagged a summer series. It is more narrow for hammock use but perfect for a minimalist ground user also!
At 15oz it can supplement my 20 degree I think perfect for below 20's if needed.
Quality is very good and turn around time was under a week!!
Just got mine a month ago or so. I love them, haven't been able to push it to lower temps yet but can't wait to see how low they can go.
I was nervous about the 46" width for on the ground but I think it is minimalist a perfect size.
Oh and I prefer the snap foot box over the zipper for higher temps. Less overheating possibilities.
I love my WL summer series quilts. I have had them down to the upper 30s and was still fine, but it was with no wind, and I'm a warm sleeper. I layered them with an AHE Flame Thrower UQ and a WL TQ and went down to 3 degrees this past winter. Yes, they layer well and are a great way to supplement other quilts.
I, too, prefer the snap footbox on the TQ so that it is easy to ventilate.
You are sure to get lots of good sleep out of those quilts.

I can't decide if I need to get a down hat or not. That won't be decided until I get some use in.
Wilderness logic make nice gear for sure. I want to check the quilt out next time we get out on the trail.
I have it right now in the bottom of my work out pack. Not like I need it but it was here from my day hike over the holidays.
Just got mine, everything is great!
Also ordered a "Bullfrog" along with the summer-weight quilt set; also great, but they sent an "olive" when I had ordered "brown." I decided to go with it rather than send it back. I only really wanted brown because it's a bit more of a 4-season cammo color than olive is, but as far as that goes, the ammount of camping I'll be doing and the odds that I'll have to worry about anyone raiding my gear are both significantly less in the winter, and besides, I figure a broad expanse of brown would not be significantly less noticeable against a backdrop of snow than a broad expanse of olive is.
I got the old switched out for the new just before the rain hit. played a bit with setting up the side-pulls yesterday morning. I may still order the outside pole mod. I'll have to set it up and tear it down a few times to fully explore/experiment with/optimize my deployment methodology which is a little more involved with this tarp than my previous but so far I'm really loving it!
I got up at 5:30 a.m (couldn't sleep). Tossed and turned all night. I took my new Snipe hammock with my 3/4 Summer series UQ to the front yard. In just a few minutes...fell asleep. I really love that light camo UQ and the Snipe hammock.I paid a lot of money for my king size bed and my hammock(s ) put it to shame.
