20 Degree Top Quilt with UP Insulation

Good luck, hope you can find something. I hope you post your projects to inspire others. It seems like DIY is becoming uncommon; I originally joined HF because I was getting into DIY great and you had to be a member to view pictures.

You might be surprised. at least half my gear is DIY. I just don't post about it, I use it

So how does the UP TQ compress down compared to a down TQ of the same temp rating?

Cedar Ridge Outdoors did a video about it.

I was going to recommend the same video, but you beat me to it. I think it's safe to say that performance wise UP is right in between climashield and down making it a good compromise. Finished weight of an UP quilt is similar to climashield but compresses much better, and the cost difference is minimal.

Just watched the video, thanks for the link. Not bad for compression. I think I am using this for my quilts I am planning to make.

I actually think UP may be a little warmer than APEX for the same weight - not really based on personal testing, but on Cedar Ridge’s videos (and comfort rating builds).

Great work! You really should be proud of that one, exceptional work. I am excited to see what else you make!
