I was just scouting the Thermarest website for some specs and found this "tech blanket". It looks like a quilt. Has anyone used one of these yet? It doesn't give any temp ratings. I'm curious as to what temperature range these are useful in. My quilt is longer and lighter, but for someone on a tighter budget, these might be a good compromise.
MSRP $50 – regular / $60 large

I use a Tech Blanket during the late Spring/summer months. Where I live, it is generally too hot for summer quilts, but can get too cool in the wee hours to use nothing. The Tech Blanket certainly does the job, albeit, the warmth:weight ratio is pretty bad.
It will work fine until we start talking about anything lower than mid 50s or so.
If you have any height whatsoever, you will want the large. I am a shade under 6', and I wish that I had bought the large because the coverage is questionable (of course I am a sleeper who likes to wrap under feet, and tuck under chin.
If you can find a better warmth:weight ratio, you may be happier. It does stuff pretty small however keeping the volume low.
What is the stuffed size of the regular and the actual weight? Can it be stuffed smaller?
Stuffed size is about 8x10x6, and the weight is 24.05 oz. I don't think that it can be stuffed any smaller, although anything is possible I suppose.
Thanks!
