Order Turn Around Time?

**Gringo665** · 01-08-2014, 17:31

Greetings, I've tried to locate an email address and couldn't find one so here I am.

I'm looking at purchasing a New River Long UQ from my Eno Double for an upcoming trip on January 18th. If I order tonight 1/8 west coast time will I be able to have the under quilt by the trip date?

Also, I'm curious do people roll the UQ and place it where your mat roll would normally go? I camp a lot in the superstition mountains of Arizona and i'm a little worried about getting a tear in the Quilt, everything has thorns on it here. This setup would be ideal because i'm unsure of how much space I've got left in my 60 liter bag.

I think yes, you could get it to your door before your trip.

The UQ can be stuffed either into stuff sack or just bottom of your pack, Mr. Gibson's quilts pack very reasonably for synthetic...in fact Climashield APEX IMO is the best synthetic insulation out there right now.

HeY Gringo665,

Right now we are a few weeks out. Current times are listed and updated on the home page, the Contact page and a few other spots on the site. The Holidays were extremely busy for us and we have a small mountain of orders yet to dig our way through. Right now I would say we probably would not be able to make and ship a quilt to you in time for your trip.

We try to work on a first come first serve system as much as possible and have a long list of folks waiting still for orders from December.

I generally would not recommend attaching a quilt on the outside of a pack. Packed inside where your sleeping bag would normally go/along with your top quilt or sleeping bag is the best way to protect it.
