When I was young, the Phantom 45 was adequate for the high Sierra in summer. Then it was the 32 and now the 15. I am 72 years old and thin. It is more difficult to stay warm above 10,000′. The Phantom 15 still comes in at about 2 lbs.

While I like quilts, not everyone does. Otherwise looks pretty darn cool!

I would be shocked if there is a better deal out there. 800 fill, well under 2 lbs (I don’t remember the exact weight), for a 20-degree quilt from a respected company. Price for the regular length/width:. $150. I got a long/wide version and it was under $200 total. With this quilt, i think it IS possible to get a quality sleeping bag on a budget. Just thought you might be interested!
