So, I started out with the basic Costco down throw.

I then ripped the seams long ways, and shook all the down to one end, trimmed it to make it roughly the size of a HG Pheonix, 46"x 52". I than added the down from another piece of left over Costco throw, that I used to make an underquilt for my Helinox chair. So, added 7 more "squares" of down to each tube, then stitched it all up. The tubes seemed really full,so I removed every other row of stitching and will have 6 tubes of down that seem to loft better. (have one more seem to rip though).

I am going to test it and see how warm it keeps me. It currently weighs 16.4oz without suspension. However, I am considering adding a layer of 2.5oz climashield (heres where the "hybrid' comes in), covered by some Argon 67, and using the Argon to hive the inside a little differential cut to help keep from compressing the down.
Thoughts? I am thinking the climashield and Argon will add another 6.3 ounces, give or take, making if 22 ounces before suspension. But it should make for a nice warm quilt, the down and climashield. What do you think?
