    Warbonnet Yeti Temp Rating - How to Tell

    I was looking at a used Yeti and there doesn't seem to be markings to ID temp rating. Am I missing something?
    I imagine weight would be one option but dependent on amount of suspension cord? Measured loft? Cold butt syndrome, a little late at that point if not rated cold enough.

    If it's an older Yeti then you could try measuring the loft and determine if it were a 3 season or 4 season quilt.

    About 5 yrs old & 20 degrees which would be a 3 season according to their current specs. Any idea on loft measurement?
    Thanks Trailslug

    I feel it worth mentioning that:

    This goes for ANY down quilt.

    the amount of loft is what determines it's insulative value.

    (it also applies to other materials too, but the thickness numbers will be different)
