    Current quilts:

    UQ.... short 20, 40, 50 down, and 40 apex... long 0 and 20 down. Also have a genuine Kitsap Cowboy 50deg apex shortie but I've only used it once... 20D shell just doesn't tickle my UL bone.

    TQ.... 20, 30, 50 down, 20 and 40 apex

    I have a 30deg Nemo Siren TQ that I haven't used in some time and the EE 30deg is 200g (!) lighter (same spec as cmc4free's 40deg... 7D/950... and also my #1 most favoritest), and a 45deg mtn hardware sleeping bag. However for me the Nemo is warmer than rating, although this is subjective.

    I could 'get by' with 20 and 40 TQs (I don't have a 40deg down TQ) and 0, 20 long and 40 short UQs. For real 0deg weather, I supplement 20deg TQ with down parka and pants and have never had a problem.

    But it's also nice to have the by-gawd UL 50 set for summer. I do use those a lot.

    And a nice 40deg Apex set for mega wetness, a la coastal PNW.

    True, I've got just about every niche covered. I use some of them, like the 0deg UQ and the Apexes, only a few times a year but sometimes they're the only ones that fit the ticket and keep the load reasonably light.

    A lot of people have benefited from your experimentation, both from knowledge and from good deals on lightly used gear.

    JRB was an early pioneer with the No Sniveller: topquilt, bottom quilt, and serape poncho!

    Anyone familiar with the KAMMOK Firebelly Trail Quilt? It ticks a lot of boxes for me in terms of versatility.

    Even giving them the benefit of the doubt, this is missing some of the info I'd want to know when buying a $300 quilt. No mention of fill weight or loft height. 15D fabric is ok, but 750FP down isn't knocking my socks off for that price point.

    There's no question I'd buy a JRB Mt. Washington 3 before I would buy this product. $20 cheaper even. And the JRB is 7oz (!) lighter, while being rated for 10° lower temperature.

    (in fairness, JRB doesn't list fill weight or loft height, but there's enough positive word of mouth from reliable sources that I had no such qualms about buying my first JRB quilt. Now having seen the one I have, I'd definitely have no qualms about buying from them again or recommending them to someone else.)
