I was debating between the 30 and 20. What was more important, ounces or warmth? Turns out color is more important... I just couldn't go with that orange. So that meant the 20 bag. Not my favorite, but better than orange!
But then, for only 2.5oz more, I could get the bag with the exact colors I would choose were I to order a custom bag...
I never thought I was prone to form over function (purple color in exchange for 5oz...) but there it is. (And thank goodness I'm short, as there was still a 10 quilt left!)

I wonder if there really was only one of each size in the 10F version? Strange. I will definitely let you know. This is my first quilt, so I'm not 100% sure on sizing.

EEs site has the sizing spelled out very well. I'm a 5'5" female, not exactly at ideal weight. I got the short, it is perfect. The size chart says a short is for those up to 5'6" tall. A lot of folks size up as they are not sure about the switch to a quilt, and want to be able to pull over their head. However, this leaves you with dead space which leads to heat loss. I also got the regular width. It is plenty enough to cover me, esp with EEs straps. I'm a side sleeper, moderately active in my sleep. I ordered direct from EE little over a year ago as my bday present to me. If color matters, you're better off doing the same. You can customize it to your liking and needs. I too could not do the orange, unless seriously discounted. I have a 30° Revelation, 850 df. I love it.

VajtagalThat's very good to hear re: short length and regular width (I wasn't sure if I should custom order a wide). I don't plan on pulling it over my head (I'm 5'3"). I do need to figure out head insulation... don't own a backpacking hooded down jacket, nor a stand alone hood. Just hats and scarves and a stiff balaclava that would be too uncomfortable for sleep.

CardamomteaSleep is very individual thing. What works great for 1 person just doesn't cut it for the next, sometimes even if they're the same sex and body size. My friend on other side of tent may be loving the ba pad I could not fall asleep on for the life of me. I have been fine with.just a beanie for colder nights. I'm getting a "snood" to more cover my head, neck, and face for colder temps. I love my Revelation!!
