I ordered one because I was looking to save weight, but when I saw it, I returned it right away. I'm average sized (female), and it didn't wrap all the way around me. I'm also a cold sleeper, and I'm much better off with my sleeping bag. Your mileage may vary. Perhaps you should google for reviews.
It is a quilt. Quilts don't wrap all the way around.Originally Posted by tiptoe

Let me rephrase. It didn't cover me completely, and I'm not talking about the part of me that is on the pad. I thought it would be really, really drafty.
If you are a DIYer... You can make one for half the cost of this one and still be in the same weight range.
That makes sense. When used on the ground, quilts can be a bit drafty. In a hammock it is much easier to tuck the sides of the quilt around your person and keep them in place. Even with a strap or two it can still be drafty with a quilt on the ground. Unless, of course, you never move in your sleep.

See, that's what I was thinking. I think I'd be ok with the basic sewing. It's the baffles that baffle me! I know I could make it sewn through, but I think that'd defeat the purpose. When you make something DIY, you make it customized for your wants and I definately don't WANT cold spots.

that quilt is synthetic it should not have baffles.....
with the right synthetic insulation i dont even think it needs quilting loops
I also found the largest size to be a bit small for me and returned it.
