Finally got to put my 35 degree quilt to a real test last weekend, and couldn't be happier with the results. Used in conjunction with a Borah Gear UL Bivy + tarp and Exped Synmat 7 in temps into the mid-30's (some spotty frost on the ground) at some of the high passes in the Olympic mtns. First, the weight savings (over the REI Sub-Kilo I typically use here) were much appreciated on a pretty brutal trek. I think I used every feature on the quilt - no drafts with foot-box drawcord, mid straps kept quilt on the pad (and me), and the upper snap and drawcord kept me comfortable when the temps dropped. Stayed warm throughout, even when the quilt got slightly damp from one severe rainstorm, and some heavy dew. The quilt dried out relatively quickly when the sun came up. For the record, I sleep with light merino long underwear, a nano puff jacket and merino cap. I'm extremely pleased with the function and value from this quilt!
