I know there are lots of threads on quilts and I have read what I can find. I cant get my mind of a EE revelation quilt. I currently use a BA lost ranger rated at 15 degrees. Its 49oz and there is no way in hell its worth of a 15 degree rating. So I am just pissed at this point that my 49oz bag isnt really warm (I am on a BA air core pad just got a BA Q core SL for cheap but haven't tried it yet). BA is sort of like a quilt in the sense there is no bottom insulation. The only thing I think I will miss (with a quilt or just another type of bag) is the sleeve in the BA bags for the pad. I love having the pad securely under me and not waking up in a pile below my bag like some of my friends.
SO... I have 3 questions. 1. Have any quilt guys switched from the BA system and hated that part of not having the pad in the sleeve? and 2. Has anyone who has tried both found that the EE quilt temp ratings are more realistic? Is there a sleeping bag I should consider that might make me happy (I cant stand the confinements of mummy bag, I would like to ditch some weight, and I want a more true temp rating) in the same price range as BA/EE (around $250)?
Thanks for your help.
