Moderate quilts for the tall side-sleeping sasquatches?

Although it may not be intended for ground use, I have used a Jacks R Better Shenandoah Quilt (long size) with the omni tape and quilt wings attachments during the last two summers. It has kept me warm when the temps dipped below 35 degrees, but I probably wouldn't take it any lower than that. I am 6'4" and broad shouldered and the Shenandoah seems to work fine for me.

Sorry but that 48" width stuff only works when you sleep on your back. Thanks anyways though.

The Arc Alpinist would be your best bet IMHO if you want a dedicated "quilt". You can get the Mitylite from WM, but it's not really weight competitive. The Highlite might work, but like the Summerlite is only 59" girth at the shoulders, and I'm sure you would find that too narrow when zipped up (but if you're just using as a quilt then that doesn't matter). If you just want a wide "quilt" to take you into the 40's, and don't mind the zipper (you can always remove it) the HighLite looks pretty good…

The Highlite's zipper only goes halfway. The Arc Alpinist is okay but I was looking for a lesser temp rated quilt. Thanks though.

I've used quality sleeping bags as quilts down to their rated temps without a being uncomfortable, much less cold, so a 32*F bag would be more than you'd need at 45-50*F

Consider asking Tim Marshall about making you a custom sized quilt Climashield quilt.

Momentum-3.7ozClimashieldCombat-Momentum will probably be good to 40*F unless you are a cold sleeper … especially along with clothing that you'll probably want to wear on those 40*F mornings.

Brett, sounds like you could do with an underfilled/smaller baffled Arc Alpinist. Shouldn't be a problem for Tom to knock one off.

I bought a ray way pack that Tim had done and it is nothing against his skill but I would like to use down and as for Nunatak, I really can't afford a $400 quilt even if it is underfilled.

Brett, you might not find a weight-competitive and price competitive down 40*F bag/quilt as compared to a 32*F Summerlite. Hard to beat 19 ounces. 20 ounces for the 35*F Caribou and it's 5 inches broader at the chest, only $285. Cheers-

I had completely spaced on the Caribou. It would probably be a good option as it is probably as warm as the Golite Ultra 20 battened down, can be used as a quilt for the 40-45F stuff and weighs the same in a long and could be battened down for the cold. Now if I could just find one on sale or used somewhere?

I'm 6'6" and 270. After being discouraged with a ton of quilts on the market, not wanting to pay for a Nunatak, and not liking the weights of Jacks R Better. I purchased a long Caribou, cut out the zipper, added two elastic straps, and now I have a absolutely great quilt for around 21 ounces which takes me easily into the 30's with just a layer of merino wool. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It isn't conventional, but when you look at the weight, performance, and size, I'm surprised more people don't try it.
