    New Option on 0°,10°,20° Loco Libre Gear Ghost Pepper and Serrano TQ's

    Just a grand experiment of sorts. I've added the option of adding a draft collar to the top of our 0°, 10° and 20° top quilts to see if there is any interest. I've been asked to do it a few times, but I've also wondered how popular it would be if it were an option. Doesn't cost me anything to offer it,so why not? Thoughts?

    I've never thought of the need for this option but it sounds interesting. So would it lay across/around the neck area?

    It would. Most sleeping bags used to offer a draft collar at the top. I've never felt the need either, but I get asked about it a surprising amount.

    I opted for one on the TQ I just ordered.

    I think it would be a great option, especially for those used to a cold weather sleeping bag.

    What might seem superfluous to one individual might seem a necessity to another. Options are always a good thing. I think it's a great business practice to offer them to people who want them.

    It's an option I'd go for, I think it could act like a barrier to help keep the warm air in and the cold out.

    I know this is a dated thread but as a guy who is in the market for a 0* TQ this year, this is something that is super important to me. I bought a -60* Wiggys sleeping bag for my winter camping and the very next year went out and bought a Feathered Friends -60* Snowy Owl because I realized the lack of a draft collar on the Wiggy's bag kept letting cold air in and drastically reduced the efficiency of the bag. When I order my Ghost Pepper it will definitely have the draft collar!

    For those who have one on their TQ, are you glad you got it?

    I am glad I have it. It really seals up the space around my neck without having to cinch it up so tight.
