[pct-l] Degree bag for thru hike?

[Eugene Leafty]

I went with a zero degree quilt, but I hit the trail very early.  It was
more than I needed, but my quilt was still very light.

The pro of sharing is less weight.  The con is having to smell each other in
close proximity after many days without a proper bath.

I got my down quilt from Tim Marshall who owns and operates EnLIGHTened
Equipment.  I highly recommend him if you can afford the time and money.

What degree sleeping bag do folks usually take for a thru hike? Pros and
cons of sharing a down quilt with a hiking partner (who's also my boyfriend)
- for pros I'd appreciate any recs on where to get a down quilt.

Thanks, Julia
