[pct-l] who has experience with quilts?

[Scott Williams]

That's great.  They do some incredible work.  My Christmas present from my
wife this year was their cuben rain coat.  What a beauty!  But CA has been
so dry I haven't been able to really try it out.  I wore it climbing Mt.
Diablo yesterday as it was cold, just to see how it worked as a windbreaker
and got no condensation at all.  That's always different when stuff's wet,
but I loved it.

I also ordered the double hexamid.  I've got good single tents, but to have
a palace for half the weight of my singles is just down right exciting.

Glad to hear you liked the bag so much.  I was really impressed.  And Joe
is one hell of a good guy.
