Who makes custom down bags?

Hi Eric, I would look up the quilt manufacturers such as a enlightened equipment.

Zpacks will- just ask them.

Enlightened equipment doesn't do anything custom. I've asked them a few times, and they don't seem to want to skew at all from their product. There's a member on here: Aaron soreson. He's offering to make custom bags in the quilt section.

There are some custom things we can do, but the bigger deviation from a standard product the less likely we can do it. If you just need a quilt with some extra straps we should be able to do that, depends exactly what you have in mind. -Tim Marshall Owner; Enlightened Equipment

Why not just get a standard Downtek 50d EE Enigma, or something similar to that? Then you end up with a nice warm weather quilt for the rest of the year. (I have found this particular 50d quilt, plus a down pants/jacket combo have kept me comfortable into the high 30's.) Truth be told, I realize I'm somewhat unclear what the difference is between your "topper" and a typical quilt.

If you can wait Nunatak will do custom work. Every time I've emailed with them they've been super responsive and accommodating.

Nunatak is great. Purchased Arc Alpinist 10 years or more ago with some custom mods like amount of down, baffle height, differential cut, and length — and the result was totally perfect!!! Best quilt I could imagine, and number one of all the cottage gear items I have purchased. http://www.nunatakusa.com/site07/arc_products/arc_alpinist.htm In more recent times, however, Nunatak may offer less customization than in the past — but Tom at Nunatak did recently provide a very nice Arc Alpinist for my wife with extra fill. It does appear perhaps that the footbox might be smaller than the one I purchased long ago — not for sure yet, and a little usage will tell the tale. Bottom line is that Nunatak remains a great custom option for a quilt so long as Tom is there to make the product suit your specs. Edited to add link to Nunatak Arc Alpinist quilt.

"Enlightened equipment doesn't do anything custom." I can't answer this any better than Tim, so I'll just add that they did some customization on my Enigma.

Not sure the degree to which they will do custom work, but I just recently placed an order with Feathered Friends for a bag not listed on their website anymore, with a bit of overfill and custom choice of fabric not usually used on that product. They seemed happy to accommodate but by the time I called I had done a lot of research and knew exactly what I wanted to order.

Ditto on FF Super Quality.. I had them add a " pillow pocket" to the hood, on my bag.. Stuff my down jacket in there. makes a nice pillow :) In the past, they've been extremely accommodating to " customizing my orders..

Thanks for all your info. I don't want the extra weight of a regular quilt. The sleeping bag "topper" I have covers just the top snd halfway down each side. Velcro patches on topper and bag holds it on. It's sorta like a quilt but not quite. I'll try quilt makers first and send a photo of my present topper.

Get a narrow or child's quilt.

Post some pictures. Sounds fun to make.

Call the Down Works in Santa Cruz, CA .They have a line of stock bags and do custom work. Very high quality work .

You might try Helium Hiking Equipment. James just made me a fantastic custom quilt to my specs.

Ahhhhh! Even more sources! This is why I love BPL.

PHD do custom bags but not what it sounds like you want.
