[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1199415, member: 54178"] The argument FOR a quilt: -> It eliminates the bottom of a mummy bag, which is compressed by body weight and gives little insulation g=for the weight. Some truth tho that idea and it's why some bag makers use synthetic filling the bottom 1/2 of their bags. It's less compressible. The argument AGAINST a quilt: -> It must have straps to hold the edges under a mattress and you need to wear a separate hood. Plus cold air can enter at the shoulder area by the mattress. In summer I often use my mummy as a quilt B/C it's more like sleeping at home. In winter I use my mommy AS a mummy. Mountaineers don't use quilts and for good reason, they try to save grams wherever possible. Quilt users, like hammock users and no-frame pack users are in a cult of their own. But hey, HYOH.
