[pct-l] Quilt vs individual sleeping bags

[John Herrin]

My wife and I are considering just sharing one large/lightweight down quilt
rather than bring two sleeping bags on our 2014 PCT adventure. I am a
fairly big guy and hate mummy bags. On top of that I am a side sleeper who
loves to hang an arm or leg out of the bag as I usually over heat in a
zipped up sleeping bag. This is a problem with a both a mummy bag and I
relaize hanging part of my leg out won't always work with a large quilt (I
used a single quilt when we backpacked the JMT a couple of years ago).

We are snugglers and connect our neo-airs with large rubber bands. We use a
lightweight dbl fitted sheet over both mats to keep them together and as I
was using a quilt, to keep me from having to sleep directly on the mat.

I am thinking this idea may even save us a little weight. Are there any PCT
couples out there who have tried this and any other folks who may have an
opinion?

I hate to spend the money on a large lightweight down quilt if it's a dumb
idea. Also, any ideas who makes/offers a real two person ultra light down
quilt?

Thanks, JH
