MYOG Pertex GL 900 down sleeping bag/quilt/blanket

That's done really really nice work! GL is some nice, shiny fabric! My Xenon jacket uses the same color Pertex GL!

Nice looking quilt. Congrats!

Awesome! That's the prefect 3 season quilt. I love it.

Very nice Kaleb… When are you gonna start taking orders?! ;)

I'll take mine 6-8" longer…

TIA

Nice! You beat Zpacks weight. Their ~70in 56in with 9.9oz fill is 16.4oz. Add two oz fill to equal your 11oz and it's 18.4 at 70 inch length. You also have a full zipper and draw cord and didn't use cuben baffles. How'd you beat it with the same materials?

I calculated 70" for their X-long because they say it wraps around the neck of someone who is 6'5". 7in for the head so 77-7 = 70in.

What did the materials cost?

Pretty nice, looks great.

Thanks for the kind words. It took me a long time to make and about $200
I forgot to mention that the inside is not Pertex GL, it's from ti goat, old 7D which is lighter, and my zipper is the same length as zpacks, just on the bottom 3/4. My goal was to make a knock off ZP sleeping bag without a closed foot box. I planned on using less down but added more to make the loft amazing like a Katabatic quilt.

Old Ti goat 7D

AKA Nobul1 ?

I have a down sleeping bag with Nobul1 lining and it leaks a little down. Maybe it leaked more earlier and less now. Probably good enough but next time I'll use something different

I had this saved for a few years, either 7D or nobul 1? Material does not leak down plumes, only feathers, so quality of down is essential.

7d was from before Nobul1. Its a nice fabric much more downproof, ripstop grid, lower weight. But the last batch I had didn't breath for crap.

"Material does not leak down plumes, only feathers, so quality of down is essential."

I used 850 FP down, I think it was from Wildernesslogics

Maybe it leaked more initially because they were feathers, but now most of the feathers next to the fabric are gone so it leaks less.

That must mean you need more down-proof fabric for lower fill power down.

this looks awesome! wish i had your skills :)
