Article Summary:

Like most Jacks 'R' Better quilts, the Old Rag Mtn Down Quilt is a versatile bag. It can be used as a warm top quilt (a bag with no bottom insulation), as an under-quilt in a hammock system (that hangs under a hammock), or as a winter overbag. With the optional Down to Earth Converter, it can even be made into a top bag system (a open bottom bag with an attached foam pad). No matter how it's used, the Old Rag Mtn provides a good warmth-to-weight ratio a good value at under $300 (size regular).
