Would prefer slightly heavier weight/durable option.
Good stuff, you're in.

Probably ordering early to min Jan if things go according to plan.

Want one for the lad certainly, just trying to justify one for myself as well.

Any idea on the packed size for a standard quilt?

No idea off the top of my head.

I will pack up my -6 quilt and measure it up. It will be smaller than that.

Thanks flv -I'm looking for a quilt at the mo. Got a couple of options in mind, but this seems like a good one. You mentioned about order/delivery time, any more details on lead in time?
If the pack size is not too big, I'm likely to be in :-)
Cheers, Nick

IIRC my ukhammocks summer TQ fits in a 5litre stuff sac. It has a heavier / bulkier fabric and 150 grammes more down fill. Weighs about 600 grammes.

As a rough guess you might save 25 to 40% pack size / weight.

This is all off the top of my slightly squiffy head :-bd

No worries on hassling.

At the moment, we dont really have the numbers.

I've been leaving matt alone due to the xmas / new year etc.
Now all thats over I'll have a chat about numbers and requirements and lead times. I will also sort out an order deadline if theres enough of us to join in.

For info, my intention is to have them available by mid april but I will confirm

Super.

Just so you know, and I'm still not in a rush, but if it ends up being a little more because we didn't make ten then I'm OK with that :cool:
