    Question New River Pics?

    Does anyone have pics of a New River underquilt in the stuff sack, or in a compression sack?

    I am really thinking about this for my first UQ, but as always wondering how much space it will take up. I'm not too concerned about weight, but size. I'm a motorcycle camper so weight isnt an issue, but saddlebag space is a premium. And like others trying to compare down vs synthetic.

    It would be great if someone had a pic of it next to something (like the famous Nalgene bottle) for size reference.

    Don't know anything about the new river, but all down quilts around here compress to about the same. I think I have one, I'll check real quick....

    I did have one. The grey bag above the nalgene is a 20* uq from Undergroundquilts.com with a little overstuff in it. The black one to the left is a 0* tq from him as well, I believe it was the long model. They both compress even more, that's just the size of the stuff sack. And if your interested, the two rounder ones up top are sleeping bags from Wiggys.com. They left one is a 20* full sized bag with hood, and the left is the 40* that mates with the left one. Both are synthetic filled.
