Inquired on my status monday and a few hours later got an email (sent from his iphone...) saying it got shipped that day !
First thing I do of course is weigh it : 16.25oz / 460g
I ordered : revelation X 6' 1.5" Straight Taper- 17oz w/8.25oz Down
I notice though that there is more down on the outside of the quilt than I'm used too "unboxing" - about half a dozen pieces. edit - it's not from the quilt itselft it seems.
I try it on and it seems roomy though I feel like the foot box seems a bit small - my WM versalite is more roomy; more than enough room throughout otherwise,
I don't think drafts will be an issue nor layering (I'm 5ft7 39n chest)
Against the light the baffles are pretty well filled (though the quilt/down was still fairly compressed); the down stays in place but with a little intentional coaxing it doesn't seem too hard to move it around.
It's rated at 40F but feels like it will keep me warm at lower temperatures and with the amount of down it should. I really wanted a quilt to try out, and I needed something to between my WM versalite 10F and a symthetic decathlon 52F bag. Kinda regret not getting a 20 degree quilt ...
