I have used this quilt for over a year now. I've used it in a variety of temps and conditions, from backpacking to car camping, dry arid conditions to Washington rainforests. Pros: packs small, very light, warm foot box. Side snaps are great for bringing it either underneath you like a bag or securing to your pad. Cons: insulation moves to the sides, clammy feel against skin when humid. Comfortable to mid 40s with base layers on for this warm sleeper, likely due to the down shifting to the sides through the night. Conclusion: I like this for summer, hot nights in dry weather. Its best used as part of a system than by itself (sheet, bag liner, base layers, etc.) For anything below 45F there are better cheaper options available. I'll be going back to a bag that I can just unzip for warmer weather.
Used this for 2020 PCT thru hike and it worked very well. I tend to sleep hot and I stayed warm enough down to freezing. Toe box does a great job holding it in place. Only downside is that the baffles are horizontal and long which causes the insulation to fall down on either side. I had to shake it back into place on cold nights.
I have used this quilt for 3 backcountry trips lasting 7 nights each time. The pro’s are its very packable, ultralight, cozy, con’s are the insulation has clumped with big spaces, when using the quilt I find I need to wear my puffy jacket to block drafts on windy nights. For this reason, I am now going to buy a new product. I would not recommend this quilt for fall. For reference. I store my quilt in the larger storage bag, its never been soaked, I’m 5’2 and 130 pounds, I can not sleep on my side and have my back covered while being tucked in the other side. If this quilt was available in a rectangle version I would still consider buying that to replace this one.
This is the first camping quilt I have ever purchased and let me tell you, it was one of the best camping gear purchases Ive ever made. This quilt is very light weight weight and compact and when combined with my Neo air mat and mat cover the quilt snaps on perfectly. One thing I was worried about was, because Im a big guy i wasnt sure if it was going to work well when I slept on me side but because of the width and draft tubes there was no cool air coming in.
Overall good product, only downside is the fact that the down compartments are very big and the down tends to clump up in one place. It leaves spots where there is absolutely no insulation and thats a design flaw. Its either the compartments are too big or there is not enough down for the size of the compartments. Maybe some kind of separators dividing the big compartments in smaller sections would help keep the down distributed evenly.
I’ve used the Corus in Scotland England and wales hills in autumn and spring in temperatures just below zero paired with the neo air x as well as the Uber light, and more recently with a z fold Matt as well. This system works so well and is so lightweight and packable that I will never go back to my 3 season bag unless in high mountain winter conditions
This (and blankets in general) are the new school of comfort for summer nights, and they're way more ""technical"" than you might think. I've been using this - and all it's predecessors - (the Alpine Blanket and Auriga) for years and there's simply no better way to sleep comfortably outside. I've used them on everything from alpine climbs and backpacks to car camping and watching movies at home (can't do all that with a BAG - let alone just one!) and I've slept comfortably down to the high 30's F. Rolling around freely, sticking a leg out for temperature regulation, and never wondering where the darn zipper is are but a few of the many bennies. They pack super small and weigh less than most bag alternatives, too. Honestly, if you need a new summer ""bag"", go for it. You will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll be downright surprised - in very good way. PS - I use them mostly with NeoAir XTherms or X-Lites, but using them on a Dreamtime should come with some sort of addiction warning.
Used it for two nights so far and really like it. It's compact enough to stuff it into the small stuff sack pillow together with a XTherm mattress (both large size) while being more comfortable than a classic sleeping bag. Thermal rating seems to fit for me, but I generally don't need it very warm.
Hi. I own one Parsec and one Corus. Both are fine. Just one problem with Corus. The front pocket is too small for a phone. Surprisingly front pocket on Parsec is ok. It's very hard to understand why. I was really upset when I found it out.
Warm, great option for pairing with a sleeping pad while minimizing overall bulk. Also a great option for adding extra warmth to another sleeping bag. Overall a great add to any sleep system!
