What is your goto summer top quilt?

[yooz85]

This is the link to my DIY CS top quilt i have been using all summer so far. It is a bare bones quilt with a sewn footbox. It was actually real easy to make!

DIY Climashield Apex TQ

I also use my HG 50* burrow with 1oz overstuff.

Wally World ozark trails down bag. Easy on the wallet and packs down small.

Woobie if cool-ish.

For normal summer temps, I use WM polyester microfleece sheets. A twin set is <$10, and I made 2 "top quilts" from that. I really like this solution...it is not clammy like cotton sheets. Easy to launder, and weighs nothing.

I have a Wilderness Logic's Summer Series - It is a great quilt and plenty warm for me in the summer.

The areas closest to home this time of year are generally in the 90's during the day, and only dip into the upper 70's for a low. Much of the night is still in the 80's. Many would think that nothing would be the best choice, but the body stays cool by sweating, so a silk or even cotton bed sheet or bag liner will actually keep you cooler. The sweat from your body will be wicked away and spread out over a large surface.

I use this one from Sea to Summit. The sides are made of an elasticized, breathable material. I'm 6' 1" and fit into the long size. It's a pain in the *** to fold it up and fit it in the tiny "stuff sack" it comes with.

For cost-effectiveness, a poncho liner is hard to beat. Good to 40-ish for most folks, it'll cover nearly year-round here in FL and into the beginning of shoulder season for folks elsewhere. It's made of fairly heavy materials, though, and comes in at nearly a pound and an half.

My next major sewing project is a 50* sewn-through down top quilt. Just need to get the materials...

Here in the Deep South, I use a Snug Pak silk liner which I also use in very cold weather as another layer for top quilt.

I have options depending on temp/humidity

If temps are not going below 70F with typical VA humidity then I have a silk liner I use. If I am going to be in the mountains where there is a chance for temps to go lower I have a DIY down TQ that is good to about 50F which I will toss in my bag as it packs up super small. But, many night I will just use a woobie that I turned into a TQ and it usually stays tossed over my ridge line until the middle of the night.

If I want to go light and small but cover the most temp ranges in the summer it is the silk liner and DIY down TQ.

This is a great topic. Being fairly new to hanging still and living in Houston Tx, these light examples are great ideas and I fully intend to test them out til I find one that works for me. I am more like a giant space heater when I sleep, so I may just be better off with light shirt pajama and pajama pants while laying on top of my sleeping bag if even that. I will have to wait and see.
Thanks for all the great ideas so far.

I love my Marmot NanoWave 45 degree bag. It's small, light, and inexpensive.
