    packed size of synthetic underquilt

    I have just spent several hours searching for a picture of a packed KAQ underquilt. I have found none!! Is this because they are huge?

    I decided to swallow my pride and ask. <G>

    Can someone direct me to a picture or tell me, in inches, how big they compress to.

    Thanks

    Which quilt? I have close to 10 models of KAQ's now. If the Potomac I just finished one and put it in the stuff sack to get down to shipping so they can get it out today. Let me know and I can get pictures of most of them for you.

    Here you go. The first is the Potomac in the stuff sack next to a 2 litter bottle. The stuff sack is fairly over-sized versus the max compression you can get, that way it will squish to conform the the shape of the pack and the gear around it in the pack. Second pick shows near max compressed size in the stuff sack--almost 2/3rds give or take a bit.

    No problem, just keep in mind that the Potomac is the largest of the regular sized KAQ's and depnding on your climate you may or may not need the 3 season version a 1S may do for a lot of the year in some climates.

    Thanks GLP, the batch of Climasheild that I have right now is some nice stuff, just not sure how long we will have it. Compresses very well, lofts great, very warm. Had some in a roll on the back of the chair here at the desk earlier to fill a by the yard order. Got to warm leaned up against it. Had to get it shipped and out of the way.

    Hey Paul...go easy on my quilt will ya. (At least I think it's mine) How cool is it to see your quilt before you actually get it
