    WIDE/LONG 45 degree-ish Down Top Quilt+extras -$100 shipped

    Hello fellow hangers-

    I'm selling a top quilt because I have a DIY problem. There, I said it....and so begins my road to recovery.

    The quilt is quite light and compact at 20 ounces. I've used the quilt by itself comfortably into the mid 40's. The sewn-through karo step baffles allow you to shake the down to the edges (with a little effort) in warm weather...or pile the down up in the chambers above you for more warmth. Really works well. It has a bungee draw string on the neck end (I tie it in a square knot when/if I use it) and the foot end is sewn closed. The quilt is 58" at the top and tapers to 48" at the foot....so a roomy foot box for sure. It is also quite long. I'm 6 feet tall and I can pull this well over my head. More detail and pictures can be found in this thread:

    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...Top-Quilt-V2-0

    The fabric may lose a feather - never enough to reduce the fill - but I find a feather on my sleeping layers sometimes. Full disclosure. Definitely not a serious issue.

    Included in the sale is a black diamond stuff sack that fits nicely. I also made a wind shirt for this quilt. It's made of 1.1 ounce pure finish (no treatment - ultra breathable) ripstop. The idea is that you can cover the quilt with another layer of nylon to capture more warm air. It's essentially a single layer with a footbox. There is also a place for the neck bungee to pass through to keep it in place. This feature weights just 3.5 ounces and folds up very small.

    Smoke free - pet free household. Very clean. $100 paypal shipped to you in the lower 48

    Fill power is unknown. I harvested this down from a very high end down comforter....so not the exotic 850/900. Perhaps in the 700 range? It's good stuff (pun intended). Maybe 1.5/2 inches of loft? Much more than the costco down throws.

    Just measured the loft - 2ish to 3ish in some places. But remember that this is a sewn through quilt. Wilderness logics, hammock gear,....all use sewn through construction on summer weight quilts.

    Oh yeah - and 76 inches finished length from bottom seam in footbox to top of collar.
