    Hudson River or Sierra Sniveller?

    I am trying to decide between these two TQ's and am wondering if anyone has any advice as to how much width matters on a quilt in terms of keeping the quilt wrapped around you and bunched under your sides at night.

    I have the Hudson and love it. I also use it for an underquilt sometimes. By far though, it gets used as a topquilt the most. It is just a little narrow, but I put up with it so I have the versatility.

    I have an Owyhee TQ, and its the same width as the hudson around the upper 2/3rds. 5'10" and 245lbs so I'm not exactly small, and the TQ covers me perfectly. I don't personally feel the need for a wider TQ, but if the extra $40 or so is not big deal, and your pack can handle the size then you wouldn't be wrong to get something a little bi

    Based on my research it seemed a little narrow as far as TQs go. I don't know if I would ever use it as an UQ but I can see how that could be helpful. I might just plop down the extra $$ for the extra comfort. Thanks to both of you!
