I really wanted to give this a better review. I found the quilt pockets in this quilt were so huge, so long, that it was very very easy for all the down to migrate to the very edges (offering no protection to the body), which it did several times over the course of my trips. I spent several afternoons on the trail trying to manually move the down from where it was bunched up at the ends to get it to redistribute through the large pockets, and was only mostly successful. It's not as warm as you think it is -- if the temperature goes below 40-45, you'll be pretty uncomfortable unless you really bundle up a lot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s great for warm weather camping if you’re a hit sleeper. I’ve used just this down to 40 degrees combined with a good base layer I was perfect, I’ve also used this locked into my spark pro and it was great I was too warm at 27 degrees. They integrate perfectly and pack down better than anything else.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super compressible, super warm, lightweight. Slept comfortably in 30 degree weather in a completely exhausted state and was still toasty warm. Two days later slept in 55 degrees and was able to regulate temperature easily by adjusting quilt. Totally sold on quilts now instead of sleeping bags.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested the 30 degree version in 35-40 degree weather and it performed great. I've used it several times and have had no issues with cold drafts. Would recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! Fits great with my bike packing setup! A lot warmer and cozier then I thought.
