Cumulus quilts

Getting one of their quilts for a summer trip through France into the alps. Taking a silk liner and trying to decide between the 150 and 250. Anyone have either and any reviews? Cheers.

Very warm out there last night and I was just right in my 250.
A 150 would have been ok but for the 3 or 4 a year when the temps are high enough (for me) to use a 150 it's not worth me spending the money on one.

Depends if you sleep warm or cold.

I've got the 250. Might be a bit warm for a summer bag if you're a warm sleeper. I had a couple of nights in Spain where I couldn't stay in it.

I've a 250, and it's a lovely bit of kit.
I guess it'd be a bit much for warm climates imho.

Temps in the Alps can dip quite a lot at night even in the summer (though not always) and I'd say that the 250 might be a better option - just my two cents.....

Thanks. Opted for the 150 as I will have a silk liner as well as merino pants and base layer and a insulated jacket in case it gets chilly pops in the hillier parts. Will let you know how it fairs.
