    Weights of diamond back quilts

    Can someone please verify the weight of diamond back top quilt to the specs on their website. I am interested in a 40F top quilt with a sewn foot box under 12oz and it looks theirs is..... unfortunately this statement is on their spec sheet “* This is a new product, item weights are estimated”.

    I have a 20° with a 15d inner and outer, no overfill, 850fp. I’ll let you know what that weighs when I get home if that helps. All fabrics do sometimes vary slightly in weight from one batch to the next. I’ve even noticed my quilts losing some weight after running them in the dryer even when not apparently wet.

    Yes, I can confirm the weight on mine is very accurate to their specs.

    I am happy with the quilt, and would recommend it to others.

    Weight for my 20 degree 10d regular length 55” wide 850 fill w/ 1 oz overstuff is 19.41 oz, almost exactly to spec. It’s a really nice top quilt.

    I weighed about 10 Diamondbacks (30°, 20°, 0° - zip and sewn footbox), and specs were pretty accurate. One quilt came in 10g over spec - all others were closer. I think this can be excused, seeing that humans and not robots make the quilts
