Climashield thickness in MLD Spirit and EE Prodigy

I have a spirit 28 and I asked Ron at MLD a similar question before buying and he gave me the listed thickness for all of the spirit models. I can't for the life of me find the email to relay that information to you but I know he will happily answer if you ask him. Don't hold me to this but I seem to recall it being directly on par with the EE thicknesses vs temp ratings.

Logan, thanks for the reply. I'm a huge MLD and EE fan, so I'm really torn between which. My packs and shelters are Ron's and I have two down quilts from Tim, so I'm struggling with any differences between the two.

I do not want to sway you either way, I also own both an EE and a MLD quilt. What I did want to share is that the new fabric that MLD is using on their quilts is truly amazing, both how it feels and at how it handles condensation drips. I think it is the best fabric, feel wise, of any bag/quilt I have owned.

Probably the only real difference between the two, beyond the fabric, is that MLD uses velcro and EE uses a zipper. Let that be your deciding point of sale, I suppose.

John, thanks. I have Ron's new "Mountain 10d" on my Superlight bivy and agree the fabric is really nice.

What size did you go with and how well does the Spirit wrap around you? Tim's seem to be several inches wider. I'm 5' 10" and 185 lbs.

Hey Art,

I went with the large for MLD and the regular/wide for the EE.

The large from MLD does wrap around me enough while on my side.

And, obviously with the wide size from EE, it too wraps around me on my side, plus lots to spare. I probably could have gone with the regular/regular from EE.

At the moment I am 5'11-3/4 and 158 pounds, and both of them wrap around me good enough. I went with the 20-degree bag for both. EE is goose down, Spirit is obviously synthetic.
