Nice thread.  I even pulled the trigger on a new Englightened Equipment quilt.  They even gave me a military discount.  Now the wait begins, should be here before elk season.

You'll have to tell us what you think Buckster.

The Enlightened Equipment looks good but after 30 years in Alaska and 20 years in western Oregon, I've just about sworn to never own anything down! Just too much water in the air where I hunt and have hunted.

I don't have much of a problem with tapered or mummy bags as long as they fit my body correctly. I have never had a need for a true rectangular bag.

I own 2 Western Mountaineering bags. The Sequoia GWS is my super-warm rig for colder hunts in Alaska. It's an oven at 4 pounds. I also own their TerraLite which is more of a mummy shape and comes in just under 2 pounds. Both of these bags unzip completely for use as a comforter or quilt, though I haven't ever used them that way. Both are down-filled and I would probably let my bow go before these 2 bags.

I'll be interested in seeing how the EE blanket performs. Nice gear.

Western mountaineering are the best bags out there and they make a wide. I got the 20 degree. It is light and more like a 15-10 degree.

I'm kind of partial to Western Mountaineering as well.  I have the Sequoia bag, which is a bit wider than their standard mummy design and plenty roomy for me.  They list it as a 5 degree bag, but I'm sure it would keep me toasty well below that.
