and the ability to snap the quilts together while still having separate foot-pockets makes for a very comfortable and warm exper This quilt is quite a revelation. Have avoided down sleep systems for decades, but this one performed really well in damp conditions while cycle-touring in France Sept. 2016. We also bought a regular-sized Corus HD from REI, and the ability to snap the quilts together while still having separate foot-pockets makes for a very comfortable and warm experience. My wife loves the system! With inflatable mattresses from Thermarest and elegant mattress hold-together straps from a backpacking boutique…
I additionally used long undergarments and a down best for sleeping Purchased for 12 day PCT hike in WA State. Nights between 32 and 38 degrees. I additionally used long undergarments and a down best for sleeping. The sleeping quilt kept me warm, even when damp from 24 hours of rain and while wearing some wet gear in bag to dry it out. I am a side sleeper do I did not attach to my Therm-A-Reset sleeping pad, I was able to tuck in the quilt and prevent cold spots. I am 6 feet tall around 200 pounds. I really like the foot box makes it easy to keep it in place.
Performs better than expected I recently took this quilt on a two night, 28 mile backpacking trip in Lost Creek Wilderness, Colorado. The second night’s temperatures were certainly below the rating for this quilt, as it got below freezing when we camped over 10,000′. I didn’t get cold either night, but I was using the quilt in conjunction with a relatively warm pad, a bivy and all of my sleeping clothes including thermals, a fleece, a down jacket and a balaclava. All in all I was actually rather warm this way…
