    Down filled, summer-weight Top Quilts

    I plan to buy a summer-weight top quilt as soon as I find one on sale. My specifications are down filled, less than 16oz, temperature rating at about 40~45F.

    Below are the top quilts I have found that meet the above specifications. Do you know of any I have overlooked? Thanks for any leads you can offer.

    1. Summer Burrow, 14.5oz, 78x48, 7oz down, 40F $199 (snap footbox)

    2.Stealth, 15oz, 78x48, 40-45F, $210 (also underquilt, headhole, stuff sack)

    3. Shenandoah, 15oz, 78x48, 40-45F, $190 (also underquilt, stuff sack)

    4. tewa 40F quilt, 14oz, 72x48, 7oz down, 40F, $199 (also velcro footbox)

    Other down filled quilts:

    (a) Leigh's hybrid TQ 35F, 16oz, 78x48, down+climashield, $190
    (b) enLIGHTened equipment -- too pricey for me
    (c) Golite Ultralite 1+ season, 20oz, 78x52, down, $220 (also waterproof stuff sack, cotton storage bag)
    (d) Nunatak, Arc Edge, 12oz, 40F, $332 -- too pricey for me

    Good timing
    I just ordered a Hammockgear Burrow for this summer's use. I chose the Long in black with 1 ounce of overfill. Hope it lands at 17 ounces.
    I plan on using it with a Te-wa summer underquilt a WB Traveler
    and PapaSmurfs 2 ounces bugnet.
    I've got 4 Nunataks and nothing wrong with them but Nunatek has never acknowledged the hammock community so I'm keeping with our vendors.

    Can't go wrong with any of your choices.

    if you want to go lighter and still have enough warmth for summer.
    HammockGear made a custom quilt for Raulperez

    here's a link to his video with review & specs,

    I'm quite suprised the all cuben, epiphiny-k, good to 40 degrees, weighs 13.5oz. That's only 1oz less then the burrow and .5oz less than the tewa for $270 more.

    Tewa, which one is rated to 32 degrees and only weighs 10oz? Btw, post some pics of the blast 26 loaded when you get it!
