As for going from a bag to a quilt its a great feeling, more freedom of movement. but you have to pick the right one. Factor in if you are a warm sleeper or cold then the length. was using a MH Phantom 32 sleeping bag before the switch. http://www.enlightenedequipment.com/revelationx.html Purchase the Enlighten Equipment Quilt 4 months ago.... 30 degree 6 ft reg / half tapered and 30% overfill. So far used it on 2 trips goes down to what I need. will not go back to a regular sleeping bag for 3 season camping again. I use this in a Squall 2 tarptent with a 1.5" 3/4 inflatable pad & silk liner ( keeps it clean). Now as for me I'am a warm sleeper at 6'2" and want a quilt good to 20-25 degree that's why the overfill. Good luck on your choice of which Quilt Mike --- In [email protected], Chris Gilmore <chris_gilmore2001@...> wrote: > > OK folks I recently bought a 3 season Adrenaline Mummy from Golite.
