The specs listed on their site look good, weight is good, I wonder what the fill weight is going to be. Considering the price of an enlightened equipment revelationX quilt though, I think the price is a little high.

All prices look high compared to Tim's Revelation X.

It looks like NEMO is doing some really cool stuff once again. Waterproof down, a unique shape (offering a unique advantage for some users), and 10D nylon are all great to see.

Any one else notice the 71'' shoulder girth? I wonder how Nemo measures that…

If you look at the picture it says 35.5 in at the shoulder and 31 in at the knee. My guess is the 71 in is where the shoulder is in length?? It looks more like a typo to me.

I interpreted the 31" at the knee as where they took the measurement for the knee, and the 35.5" is measured up from the knee and where the shoulder girth is measured.

With out a point of reference though the measurements in the diagram are vague.

It's a little unclear for sure. Notice that the 35.5'' for the shoulder and 31'' for the knee markings in the diagram are just half the shoulder and knee girths given in the table.

"Considering the price of an enlightened equipment revelationX quilt though, I think the price is a little high."

I'm guessing that the new waterproof down, and using first quality nylon fabric account for much of the price difference. That said, I'd still likely buy a RevX over the Nemo.

It's good to see them using Dwr down, I know Tim Marshall and Gooses Feet will be testing some soon.

The weight specs don't match the down fill nor the 71" width. In fact, it is impossible.
