Very functional - Sierra Designs Backcountry Quilt 800F 2 Season

Didn't really think a quilt would be something I'd use with all my backpacking equipment since I am kind of a snob with good quality and practical equipment. I ended up buying this for my wife for Christmas and she loved it. I tried it one night and was shocked how much I really liked it! So, I bought one for myself. It is super comfortable with the foot pocket and it was big enough that I could completely wrap it around my whole body. I sleep with a down comforter at home and this felt similar. It kept me warm down to the low thirties and Probably down much lower with the right layering. I love the built-in hood, which for me is better than sleeping with a cap. It's light and packs down very small. It really is very functional and I will also take it to the Camino De Santiago, where I'll stay in hostels, and of course I will continue to use it for my cool, to cold, backpacking trips. Wow, I had to eat crow with my snobbish attitude because this really is a nice quality and very versatile piece of equipment.
