I offered it to rebeccad earlier, but it did not fit her needs. Loco Libre says it is a 10F quilt, but in my opinion that it is a stretch. 3" loft. I also upgraded to the box foot. It really is a very well manufactured quilt. I just didn't find it was what I wanted. Never used. Here is the link from my conversation with rebeccad . If anyone is interested, let me know. bpbasecamp.freeforums.net/thread/16793/new-ugq-quilt-arrives |

And, the comments once the quilt was in hand:
Received the Loco Libre quilt. I'll post up a few pics when I can. Craftsmanship is excellent. I switched gears and went to a 10F design from the 40F originally ordered. Came in at just over $400. Figured I could use any cheap bag in 40F+ temps and decided to lighten my winter weight.
A couple of concerns:
1) ordered it with 2 oz overfill in the torso. The torso area doesn't feel any more dense than the rest of the quilt, so wonder if the overfill wasn't added. Gonna call to verify. Haven't put a ruler to it but it looks like 3" loft.
2) loco libre rates this at 10F w/3" loft (900 FP goose down). Cross referencing with Western Mountaineering, seems a more accurate rating would be 15-20F.
I'll add that WM measures their loft using both sides of the bag, so a 10º sleeping bag ends up with a 6" loft. Quilts typically only measure the one side that is going to be on top, so a 3" loft would be comparable to a 6" lofted bag. As always, people sleep with different levels of heat manufactured by their body, so this quilt could be fine for some at 10º and not for others.

Thanks zeke . Guess I should have taken the effort to extract the data. I'm aware of how the measured loft of bags vs. quilts compares. WM rates their Badger with 6"loft at 15F. I figure quilts are inherently less efficient than bags, which is where I came up with the 20F number. I'll post some pics later. |

John, what does that quilt weigh? Jazzmom is interested in a quilt and the one I have that’s a hair short would be long on her, and the price is about the same as you are asking... but I’m really counting ounces so would only consider playing musical quilts if it weighs in about the same.

It is 75", so probably too long. Don't know the exact weight, prolly around 24 oz.
