Hey everyone,

I'm in the market for a new TQ. (Actually my first) I'm currently using a Western Mountaineering 20 degree down sleeping bag I got for tent camping and I find it generally warm enough but somewhat heavy and bulky and not particularly suited to hammock use.

Sorry, back to my question. I'm a little bewildered by all the options available from a plethora of cottage manufacturers.

I've seen a couple of very positive reviews on the Warbonnet Diamondback, but generally when people discuss TQ mfg's they don't mention WB. Why is that? Is the Diamondback not a good value? Is it a good quilt but prohibitively expensive?

I have many questions about options, such as zippered vs sewn foot box, draw cord for the back, draft collar or no, extra wide or normal, and others.

I've done a number of searches but haven't found anything like a general information "sticky" for top quilts for beginners. I'm talking "for dummies" level material.

I appreciate any thoughts or links anyone might have.

Thanks and be healthy!
