Looks like the first of the Katabatic Wide quilts are available. Alsek currently with others shortly. The could make a great over quilt as well as being extra comfy.

Now if only they'd start using a super light shell fabric (ie. M50 or Pertex Quantum 7D) to shave off 3oz or so then they'd have my money. I suggested this to Aaron once but he didn't think it was a big deal. IMO, shaving off multiple ounces for really no penalty is a huge deal. Sleeping bags/quilts are the perfect application for these extremely light nylons.

An orange over-quilt so bright I can never fall asleep!
May 1, 2011 at 9:52 am #1731588Yeah that orange is pretty bright but a wide selection of colors is supposed to be coming out this spring.
In any case, Aaron already uses Pertex fabrics right now so using Pertex Quantum 7D seems like the one he would likely use.
