NEMO Siren quilt on 11/10/2012 06:54:49 MST Print View

I got to spend some quality time with one of NEMO's Siren quilts this fall. I think it is a pretty good job for their first try.

I have a review of it here:

I had to stop using it as it is deer season now (I don't go out until it is done) and it will be too cold once I start back up next month.

Good review Ray.
The 'horizontal' line of the footbox end looks as if it might let in cold air as you turn. Did you find any difference in that regard? My quilts have the usual 'vertical split' at the end of the footbox.

You know Mike I was wondering that myself as all of my other quilts have been more of a V instead of straight across. But I did not recommend changing it in the review because I never had any issues with it.

Most of my use was in CA and the weather warmed up right as I got there so I really didn't have it at the low end much. Next spring I should see some lower temps to get a better idea of how it does at or below 30.

It's maybe not an issue. Like yourself, i'm a restless side sleeper, so quilts were a prayer answered when i discovered them.
Good to see a mainstream manufacturer taking quilts seriously, though maybe our cottage guys wont be so happy. It seems quite expensive for a mass produced product though.

I have a feeling that material is pretty spendy.

I think they have it priced at the upper-middle and can see it for what they are using. I just posted a review of my children's GoLite quilts and see that they are saying theirs have an MSRP of $400.00 now. That is crazy. ;-)
