Looking to hire someone to convert a bag to quilt

What do you have in mind?

You might try Aaron Sorensen .

I don’t have any super kazoo requests… I think. I’m 5’8 and never sleep with my legs all the way straight, so if I was going to use EE”s measurement options I’d go with the 50inch wide and 66inch long. That would save me a lot of excess bag I don’t use trimmed off the sides, and of course the hood. If it’s not a gargantuan task it would be neat to have that down restuffed into the baffles. That and some sort of attachment loops and straps?

Thanks Anna.

I think the conversions referenced in very old threads might have been completed by Tim Marshall right before or in the very early days of EE Designs.  You might try Rainy Pass in Seattle. I know they replace zippers and repair draft collars in bags. They might be able to help.  I would think having down re-shuffled in labor intensive…  If your down has started to loss its loft, Rainy Pass might recommend an once or two overfill.

My long Marmot Hydogen comes in at about 24 oz. A new 30 degree quilt from EE or Katabatic might save you 3 or 4 oz.

Yeah. An EE 20 spec’d for me will be 17oz… short measurements, 950 down. I may do that anyways, but the hydrogen has nice guts (down and shell), so I’m trying to find use for it either converting or selling it.

Give Rainy Pass a call. You will need to factor in the shipping costs to see if it really economical. They have done a good job cleaning some of my down gear.  Have not had them do any mods though. You might also call EE. Since it is the slow season and Tim has added staff, maybe they would be interested in modding the Marmot.

Try calling a local tailor/seamstress.

Ha, I’m looking for the opposite! Son’s not a quilt kinda guy after all, so we want to add a full zipper. I’ll give Rainy Pass a try.

Jordo is going to take on the project . Thanks for everyone’s input.
