[pct-l] synthetic quilt

[chiefcowboy at verizon.net]

I bought a synthetic quilt kit from Ray Jardine.  I have used it on both of 
my thru hikes and absolutely love it. It weighs 1.5 pounds and goes into a 
small stuff sack easily.  I augment it with a silk cocoon liner I bought 
through Campmor for about $40.  It weighs 4 ounces and gives me an 
additional 10 degrees warmth on those really cold nights.  The quilt costs 
about $75 and I had it professionally sewn.  I have slept comfortably in 15 
degree weather.

Can anyone recommend a synthetic quilt they have been happy with? I am
vegetarian and don't use down, but my Climashield sleeping bag (and puffy
for that matter) are so heavy! I'd like to find some options to stay warm
and save weight for future trips. I also really like that synthetics still
insulate well if/when they get wet.

Cheers!
Fatty
