Golite Top Quilts

I have the 1 season as well. Looked into the 3 during sale and was told they are sold out until next year. I had to clarify twice since it sounded so strange to be sold out until next year. Weird.

This is good to know as i have had my eye on one for a while.

I picked up the GoLite ultra20 a couple of years ago on one of their 40% off sales, and it's been a good quilt that I use regularly for 3 season. But I would not rate it as a 20 degree quilt. They have a newer (and heavier I believe) ultra20 model now, so that could have changed. Of course, temp ratings are kind of subjective and anything is possible depending on how much insulation you want to wear underneath it to supplement.

Edit: I just checked the OP link and their 1+ season quilt is 20oz, compared to 19oz for my ultra20. Interesting how they have backed off, and what they now call ultralight.

I tried that code and BSF10 and they have both expired. I know they come up quite often, so I'll just have to wait for it to happen. Thanks though.

I was on my way to Afton Friday night too and decided to camp out somewhere else instead because it looked to busy for me. lol See you on the trail dude.

Hey Fronkey,

A buddy of mine just picked up a 3 season sleeping bag and reported back that the quality was really good.

Cheers

I bought mine at the GoLite factory store in Westminster (50% off, woo!), and really like it a lot - at 5'8", I just barely fit into the short version, and saved a bit of weight that way.

When I'm expecting below freezing, especially with the way the temperature swings here in Colorado, I'll stick to my mont bell sleeping bags, but for mid-30s weather, the 20 degree quilt is perfect. Saves a lot of weight and bulk, and is very well made. I love 'em!

I pretty sold on the Golite topquilt. All I'm waiting for is to get my hands on one of those 40% off coupons and I'm going to buy one for me and one for the gf.

I have a golite ultra 20 and I love it.

I bought a r1+ on sale and did not care for it and I sent it back.
I thought is was a bit heavy for a summer quilt. You could make one from 2.4 oz Climashield Apex for about $70 that would be a lot lighter.
