Okay, so I'm selling two DIY underquilts and a custom size underquilts.com TQ that I stuffed with down and finished up. I have ambitions to do some longer distance hiking, but we are now moving soon and trying to downsize for the near future.
Prices are shipped to your door. As always, the first "I'll take it" is king.
1. Underquilts.com "Barnaby" Top Quilt
I purchased this last fall here in the FS/FT forum as a custom sized shell (un-filled). It was described as 80" x 55" (wider and longer than standard) - I just measured the filled quilt and it while the 55" width is spot on, it seems more like 74" finished length (probably due to the curve of the baffles). It's made of dutch's argon taffeta so it's very light, and very soft/comfy, and very compressible.

- 74" x 55"
- Hunter Green .67oz/yd2 Argon Taffeta
- Overall weight: 21.0oz/595g
- Estimated Temperature rating: 3-season, ~20 degrees F – obviously this is heavily dependent on the individual.

- Completed the DIY stuffing and sewing the footbox, foot channel, and final side edge in early Jan. I've set it up in the backyard once, and used it (car) camping for one night. It was plenty warm. Very good condition, maybe a few crooked stitches on the footbox

If you have any Questions please feel free to ask either in PM or reply.
I'm also downsizing with clothing (merino, down jackets, etc) and a couple packs which I will post in the next day or two. I could definitely combine shipping to save everyone money.
