    Another top quilt option

    Just found another option for top quilts. And bonus for us in the great white north, it's in Canada. I don't own one but looks interesting for a warm weather quilt.

    The specs look decent: 850 goose down, breathable shell and weighs about a pound with a nifty looking collar contraption to snug it up around your neck. I can't tell and the website doesn't say if it's sewn through construction or not. It says "quilted construction" but nothing about baffles. Still, for a mild weather top quilt it doesn't look bad at all.
    "...the height of hammock snobbery!"

    It actually says "warmth-efficient box-baffle design" indicating that it has a baffle height unless it may mean a sewn thru construction with a box shaped stitching pattern. ???

    I have one arriving next week in the mail, looks like a good design and price for us in Canada is good. I Will post pics and review once it gets here. I believe it is sewn through but will confirm that, they are debating whether to make a baffled colder version, maybe if there was enough interest? Cheers

    Added: their bags are very good, I have their warmest Scheherazade and it is very well made.

    Added: I paid $20 less for mine last week, must have been an ‘early bird’ special or something.

    My Ninja arrived in the mail today, sorry just a first impression teaser and not an in-depth report yet.

    Taiga hit the nail squarely on the head with this one!

    In the sack weight for the Long version is 18.9 oz and it is just slightly bigger than my Superfly tarp. It IS sewn through but loft is probably 1.5" each layer of toasty down warmth. I will do all the measurements and pics soon.

    Immediately impressed with the foot box baffle and the snap overlaps that can close the bottom to about my butt. I am slightly claustrophobic 5 11" and 200lbs and there is plenty of room in this.

    The Ninja lofts really well and the overall construction is top notch. I am looking forward to testing this thing out. Also really cool that it is made in Vancouver BC, Yay Canada!

    Great to hear. Looking forward to your full review! Was thinking of the Pine Down quilt from MassDrop but this looks just as nice.

    I'd be curious to see one. it really looks like a modified CDT, but that may be just cause of the super similar colour

    the pattern it's cut into is pretty neat though

    Are there dimensions of these any where besides the “fits to”?
