    Poncho liner made top-quilt questions

    Hey all,

    Just picked up an ACU Digital poncho liner after reading about it on another thread and really like the possibilities it has. I'm going to begin modifying soon and had a few questions. What is the usual "size" of your topquilt? I'm also trying to figure out if I can go without my DIY IX UQ and just use the liner down to something around 55*F. Ideas for modifications anyone?

    Thanks.

    Why mod it? Try it out first and see what it needs.

    For one, it's huge. I can make a sleeping bag easily out of it. And two it weighs much more than I would like. Plus, what fun is just buying gear and not messing with it

    Try this thread. About 1/2 way down the posts, he gives a diagram of his dimensions.
