[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1294411, member: 54178"] THIN SYNTHETIC QUILT OVER-BAG: Another way to both extend your bag's temperature range and keep down bags from collecting moisture is to use a synthetic "quilt". A backpacking quilt has no hood and is usually open in part of the back side. Usually a sleeping pad goes inside a quilt. This layering system lets your body's vapor moisture accumulate (condense) in the synthetic quilt where it can be removed from the bag and dried outsid. Mountain Laurel Designs (MLD) has 3 thickness of synthetic quilts. I'll likely get a large thin quilt. Less weight and does the job. The MLD quilt is black to promote heating up when dried in the sun. Smart. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
