HI,
I'm looking for user info or review for this product.
Has anyone here used this quilt, and if so, what would be the lowest temp. that you would rate this quilt to, with wearing minimal extra clothing?
Good to 30deg?
Thanks,
Mike

This is a new product, they haven't shipped yet.
Ryan talks a little bit about appropriate use here, way down the thread:

and on the arctic1000.com sleep systems blog here

Thanks for the reply J.S.,
With the prices they want for most of the latest lightweight gear, I'm starting to think about getting a machine and make some of my own gear.
I don't think a tarp,bivy and syn. quilt would be too hard to make? Start with a tarp, then make a bivy, then finish with a quilt.
You could start with stuff sacks to perfect your sewing, then advance to the other gear.
Also look at Jordan's comments here http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/xdpy/forum_thread/7543/index.html?skip_to_post=54325#54325 in which he corrects my speculations on the temperature range of the quilt.
