Loco Libre Gear Operator Series Summer Quilts

**georgecarr** · 05-04-2017, 21:19

I hinted about a summer quilt set coming out soon and here it is: The Operator Series. These are among the lightest quilts on the market today, including an 8.2 ounce UQ WITH BAFFLES! I just hired two new sewers to help get my lead times down, but if it starts to go the wrong way again I'll have to pull these (I hope not!) Enter the code OPERATOR10 at checkout and get 10% off these quilts for the month of May.

Simply brilliant! Underquilt ordered!

(My old paintball team was called the Operators!)

Nice! A perfect set for cool summer nights.

Love It!

Is there an option for a 70" standard width, it didn't show when I looked, only the wide in 70".

There's always a hiccup or two in the beginning

. All fixed.

very interesting, I know it's a summer set, but what is the UQ rated to? I'm guessing 50°?

Nice. I've been debating a 50 degree quilt for a while. About the same price as HG's 50 but lighter...slightly heavier than EE's but about $90 cheaper. 10% discount...trigger pulled. Thanks George!

Lol, I figured that's all it was cause you had the weight for one at the bottom, I just thought you were holding out on us tall midgets till later.

Sounds great George, was great to talk with you last week about my Habanero and the Gramm Weenie as well.

Thanks for taking the time to answer the phone.

For me, it was the amazing packability a quilt like this will afford, as well as the weight, compared to, say, an AHE Jarbidge 1S. Sure, the synthetic is rated about 10 degrees lower, but for the limited portion of the summer around here where a 50-degree quilt will be useful, a "fist-sized" down UQ at a fraction of the weight for nearly the same price is what did it for me. Very much looking forward to using this underquilt in a few weeks.
