    Argon and Climashield TQ

    I finished sewing up my new summer TQ. Climashield Apex 2.5oz and Argon fabric from Dutch! Should replace my Thermarest blanket I had been using for temps into the high 40's, low 50's. Thermarest was 24oz's, the Argon quilt is 12.6oz's without the stuff sack, 13.4 including stuff sack. The Argon was a bit of a pain to sew, but not terrible. Stuff's down smaller than my Thermarest, but not a small as a down TQ would. I am happy with it, just have to decide how I want to do the foot box.

    Thanks Dutch for the great service on the fabric, and thanks to Thru-Hiker for the Apex.
