Would this bag work for 2 people who do not mind sleeping close together. I do alot of backpacking with my girlfreind and we are looking to shave some weight for a trip to the Grand Canyon this coming September considering how much water we are going to have to carry.

Anyone have any pics of what it looks like opened up?

They have a relatively narrow footbox that wouldn't (comfortably) fit 2 people, These don't open up like a rectangular quilt.

thanks, I knew the footbox was closed but I was not sure how much room it had.

I don't have the 90, but received the 180 yesterday. I'm impressed so far (haven't had a chacne to use it yet though) but it's a bit narrow. I think the 90 may be a little wider as it can be used as on overquilt, but I doubt that it's wide enough for 2 people. Nunatak and Jacks R Better both have 2 person quilt options available. If you're not opposed to sewing your own gear, the Ray Way 2 person quilt is a fairly easy (though time consuming) project. I was thrilled with how mine came out and my finace and I both found it comfortable. The Ray way kit also gives you the option of a zipper that runs horizontally through the bag at the mid point so you can each carry a portion of the quilt. Sadly, it weighs more than the 14 oz Pro 90 quilt. :(

What do people think of the Pro 180 Quilt as an overquilt with a light down bag?
I'm thinking of getting one for wet trips and the winter with a belay jacket and puffy pants.

I was thinking of doing the same thing myself.

Currently I am thinking with my Subkilo down bag, the Cocoon 90 quilt, Patagonia Das Parka and a pair of Wild Things EP pants I could get down to some pretty cold temps. My only concern is how much the clothing will compress the insulation in the down bag, so I will have to work some tests to see.

Width or girth is an issue for quilts as an overbag. The Jacks'R'Better No Sniveller is 48" wide and works great as a quilt for me, but is not wide enough to work as an overquilt.
