“Best” lightweight fabric for quilt?

And this: http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Ripstop-Nylon-PTX-Quantum-downproof-35g-qm::1567.html ? Or other downproof fabrics in that store ?

I used M90 and M90 L Taffeta for my summer quilt. could have done M50 outside if i wanted the tiny bit of weight savings. the Taffeta is basically the same with a bit different thread pattern for a nicer feel instead of the ripstop.

just ordered more M90 for the top of a dry weather breathable bivy.

The two best materials available to DIY guys are the Pertex GL Zpacks sells or the Argon 67 you mentioned. Nobul 1 is very comfy but leaks down and now there are better options. Nobul 2 is good but not as soft or comfy, not a bad option.

I happily choose my Phantom fabric over others mentioned but I'm not willing to share ;)

+1 for Argon

I have an Argon quilt. It's very soft and light. It isn't a shiny, slick material that can feel uncomfortable. Very few feathers have been lost in the past year or so. Black is a good color. It's black, nothing funky about it.

Thanks for the input! Found quite a bit more information over at hammockforums so I ordered some Argon 67. Only green and brown available right now unfortunatly, which from the photos didn't really go that well together in my opinion :( so ended up with just ordering the green + 1 yard of black argon 90 to reinforce in inside of the footbox
