I am kinda dumb. I didn’t realize the “hood” part of the bag was for the feet… so I used it as a cover for my head. Nonetheless, this kept me warm during my backpacking trips to Mt. Rainier and Kennedy Lake in Stanislaus National Forest. It was about 50 degrees or so at Mt. Rainier and didn’t need any additional clothing to keep warm. At Kennedy Lake, it went down to 36 degrees (I believe) and slept with a lightweight hoodie for added warmth. This is warm enough and sooo lightweight and warm enough. Plus the bag came with its own compression sack. Very happy with my purchase.
Very lightweight and warm, very small when packed. A down quilt with a “pocket” for your feet. This is perfect for cool to cold evenings. I will bring it on my next Camino in Spain.
Warm, packs down like others have noted - but also sheds a lot of down. Even after a dozen + uses.
This thing is AWESOME. Light and warm enough to use as a summer sleeping bag.
As a quilt this works! I am a quilter now, I am a warm sleeper as it works for me
Great change from "standard" sleeping bag to quilt type. I didn't expect it would work, and now I would never come back to previous system. But you need to be aware that to make it work correctly you need to have insulated mattress / mat. I tested this quilt in 37F / 3C and I was sleeping in a base layer only. It was perfectly comfortable (I use sleeping liner as well). Last point - price, I don't believe for $150 you can find anything better than this.
