Cool, I hadn't seen your stuff before now. You mention that your quilts have a better warmth-to-weight ratio than the competition; do you have the specs somewhere? Like, how much does the 80" 20 deg underquilt weigh?

Our 20* Underquilts range from 23 oz to 28 oz depending on options. We are highly custom in our quilts which means material choices, fill and sizing will all effect end weight. Our customers usually say they can get a full 10* below our rating comfortably.

If you actually listed something like fill weight in an example quilt it would be helpful. I think that is what the person above was asking. Getting at "Why are your quilts warmer, more down fill, larger baffles, specific baffle design, etc?

That’s what I was explaining. Our UQs are highly custom. We do use a specific baffle design in our UQ that we feel optimizes loft, allows for down to be migrated if needed and providing a better seal to the hammock. Fill weights are extremely variable and are UQ specific. These are not an off the shelf quilt, each one is made custom and to the user specifications. We do offer “stock” choices on our website but most of our UQ customers know exactly what they want and we provide that for them.

So, no specs, after being asked specifically from 2 different people and even mentioning "stock" choices. Every cottage maker I know of offers custom options.. Moving on.

The original question asked about the weight of a 20° 80”. Which I answered. Completely stock 28 ounces.
If choosing a stock option it comes with a 20D Outer, 10D Inner, Primary and Secondary Suspension, 2 Minibieners and a Stuff Sack.
The shell and suspension weigh 17.3 ounces with a fill weigh of 10.7 ounces of 825 Blended Down (50% white goose/50% Duck Down).
I have specs just trying to explain they are variable.

Thanks. Certainly not trying to start an argument here. I appreciate your help. I would suggest putting some "stock" specs up that represent standard option quilts... gear nerds like me tend to comb through that stuff before choosing a quilt.

It’s all good. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on getting my spreadsheet added to the product.

Wow, hostile group! I've never seen more people upset about getting 25% off handmade, custom cottage gear, lol!
