I like the idea but wonder how it would work sleeping on the ground? Or a non insulated air mattress. Thanks

I have the Hudson River with the sewn foot box option. I got it when they were offering a deal with 900 fill down. So far it's been great. I used to get all twisted up in a regular bag. With the quilt it stays on top of me. On hot nights it's easy to regulate my temperature and on cold nights I can pull in the edges for a better cocoon. Great compression too.

I write gear reviews for a backcountry travel mag and ordered one of their bags to review. It was so bad, I didn't even write the review. Aside from their fill value claims being dubious at best, I thought the quality of the construction reminded my of the bags my sweet hippy backpacking mom made for us in the 70s. Smiley
