Weight is a function of rating amongst other things and the lower the rating the pricier the bag. So you can't expect to find a sub 1lb bag with a 20 degree rating (if you do let me know). And maybe not even a 40 degree bag. I have an older model GoLite 20 quilt it's the long version (I'm 5'11" and 200lbs.) it weighs 21oz. It has been a great quilt for me. I got it on sale a number of years ago and I've used it down to well below freezing temps. I think Enlightened Equipement has a great quilt at a super price http://www.enlightenedequipment.com/revelationx.html If you want to go lighter but pricier look at Zpacks quilts http://www.zpacks.com/quilts/sleepingbag.shtml To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] From: chris_gilmore2001-/[email protected] Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 16:43:26 -0700 Subject: [BackpackingLight] Which quilt OK folks I recently bought a 3 season Adrenaline Mummy from Golite. It s a nice bag but I find it rather confining. I'm looking at alternatives and a buddy of mine suggested a quilt especially since I am a hot side sleeper. He suggested the following 3 quilts I'm interested in your thoughts....http://www.golite.com/UltraLite-800-Fill-3-Season-Quilt-Regular-P46821.aspx http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/sierra-stealth/ http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/shenandoah-standard-rectangular-quilts/ or this one but I'm not too fond of the price... http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/sierra-sniveller/ I was hoping for a sub 1 lb. if I'm going to switch but the Golite products seem worth the extra bit of weight assuming they aren't too small. I'm 5' 10" 185 lbs assuming that matters for recommendations. Chris Gilmore
