Hello,
I want to get a quilt in time for the Ford Fiesta as I hate being trapped in sleeping bags. I tend find I thrash about too much and I always get too hot.
Can anybody suggest a quilt that is lightweight and packs down well, but doesn't break the bank too much?
This one seems to be the best I have found so far, any thoughts on it?

you could ask mat at UK Hammocks if he has anything in stock and ready to go, but it seems unlikely.

I like my new As Tucas Sestrals http://astucas.com/en/products/sestrals-quilt (the APEX 200 version). I've used it in my bivy with my Garmin 800 reading a minimum of -4.1 degrees (while sitting on top of a croc outside the bivy bag). I did have to add my Acclimatise fleece jacket to a light fleece jumper and thermal t-shirt when temp dropped below about -3. But I wasn't wearing thermal trousers or thick socks. I'm hoping that with some better thermals I can go below -5 and still be cozy.
