Great compact/ultra-light "cool" weather quilt.
I use this as a warm(er) weather camping quilt. I have a good (and expensive) 10 degree quilt for colder weather, but it's twice as heavy and at least twice the bulk of this one. This quilt is great for me down to maybe 50 degrees at night. For reference, I generally run warm and like to be very cool at night. I've used it into the lower 40s, but even I felt a bit chilly at that temp.As mentioned, the packed size and weight are a big advantage of this quilt, if the weather is warm enough that you can be comfortable.The unpacked size is a bit smaller than I would prefer (maybe an extra 3-4" would be perfect), but I'm 6'-3". Even so, I was able to be fully covered, shoulders to toes. There just not a lot of margin for someone my height. I would think this would be perfect for anyone under 6' tall.I'm not the type to sit around the fire with a quilt wrapped around me, and therefore the "wrapping" snaps don't server much purpose for me. That said, my adult kids got there hands on it when I had it laying out and just loved this feature.I'm happy with the quality of the quilt. This is not a huge puffy cold-weather quilt, so don't expect to go explore the frozen tundra with this, but if you want a compact, light-weight quilt for those cool southern spring/fall (or cool northern summer) nights, this just might fit the bill.

Ultra light budget friendly high quality multi use/ function quilt
I unboxed quilt evening if arrival, ruined from stuff sack, which of in air & let it sit in spare room. Next evening I got it & it puffed up beautifully!I purchased this this quilt for ultra light summer option to b used w my Nemo Short insulated RE.5 9 oz & Flex Mat R1.5 1lb 1.5 oz. Total Sleep System Weight 2 12.5. For cooler nights in spring & fall I'll use with my Vumos $20 sleeping liner 11oz; as temps drop off u stuff won't inside liner it'll keep u warmer. I can also pair it if needed on freezing nights w my 0° Down Outdoor Vitals quilt. It also fits perfectly in my packs brain to use as a pillow.I turned off my heat in house showing it to stop to o 57°F & stayed warm all night on my wool mattress. W heat at 60°F & ceiling fan on high I laid on couch w it stuffed around me as if camping & I was adjust too warm. I'll be heading out in winter hike in couple weeks for 3 nights on trail w current forecasted night temps 30-43°F & 2 nights in car. I'll post updated at that time.Pros- Budget Friendly- ultralight- great quality/ attention to detail- multi use; home, backpack, camp blanket, car camp, RV & perfect size to keep in car for emergency blanket (just don't keep in stuff sack!)Cons- water resistant down option not available at additional price point- Stuff sack needs a tab on bottom to slip ur finger thru for ease of pulling out quilt.Note: if u r inexperienced w using down I suggest u read up on it & learn about the different ways they r sewn & which is best for ur needs as well as how to care for ur down from storage, use, cleaning. These pictures of people hold quilt in light to see how much stuffing at seams is silly. Yes, when a quilt it nah is seen in this manner you'll always lose heat on seams no matter what stuffing is. If u want a 0°F quilt then u need to look at baffles. It'll also cost u $300-600. There needs to b sure around the down/ feathers & u for warmth. If the down is compacted there isn't any insulative value.

Great value. Essential piece of kit. Excellent warmth to weight for price.
I waited a year to review this product. I camp roughly 100 days a year. In that time, I've used it on multiple backpacking and car camping trips and it has performed splendidly. This morning, I'm in Grand Teton. It is 36°. I used the blanket last night in combination with a Big Agnes Air Core insulated mattress and slept warm all night. Yesterday, with same gear, I slept comfortably at 32° in Yellowstone. I would probably call that (low 30s) the lower comfort limit for the product, but that's pretty impressive in my book. If you're a cold sleeper, that limit might be 40s for you. It packs up small, about the size of a Nalgene bottle, and weighs less than the air mattress I use it with. It's got plenty of down fill, and, although I don't recall what the fill power is, it is sufficient, and you can see the down when you hold the blanket up to a light.Water resistance is not a topic I can address, except to say that I keep the blanket in a lightweight, submersible dry bag so that I don't have to find out how water resistant the outer material is. I have some of other high end down items with hydrophobic down and the like, but it never seemed like a good idea to see just how wet any of it could get before it became completely useless.You can spend hundreds on warmer, cottage or big brand down blankets, no doubt. I dont know that you will find a comparable one at this price point. This is an excellent piece of gear that has held up well.

Like a cloud of warmth and security in a cold world.
I fully love this blanket. It weighs NOTHING and provides four inches of loft. When the world ends you will want this to wrap around your shoulders and drift into whatever harsh future comes. You could stuff it in a large pocket (or the stuff sack that comes with it) Take it to corporate meeting when the boss says no more working in pajamas. Be like Linus. This is a life changing purchase AND the colors are my favorite. I’m buying a second one to keep by my reading chair so I don’t have to go upstairs to get it.

Camping essential
One of my most essential camping items. I always pack this blanket. It's incredibly light but provides so much warmth. Highly recommend.
