    Question on finished topquilt size

    Hello everyone! I am looking to purchase my first top quilt and have decided to get a Bandit XL. Being a rather large person I need a 60"wide to be comfortable. Plan on also going with no taper and 84" length. I also am planning on going with the 20 degree with 2 oz overfill for durability and humid camping. So here is my question, If I go with the above mentioned specs will the finished width be at 60" or should I bump up to the 64" size? Weight is not an issue for me but comfort and warmth are.
    Thanks
    Dave

    60” no taper should be 60” at the foot end as well. If weight and packability are not an issue, the 64” might not be a bad idea.

    "60” no taper should be 60” at the foot end as well". Thank you but I was referring to since the baffles are filled (and overfilled in this case) will that reduce the finished width due to the distortion of the fabric OR is the width spec'd after fill is in place. Does this make sense?

    No overfill should be accurate on dimensions. Overstuff will shorten it a bit. Since weight is no issue, go ahead and get the 64” and you’ll have no worries!
