[pct-l] synthetic quilt

[Kristin Hamann]

Thanks for all the comments! I have a Sierra Designs Rosa which is 2 lb 12
oz and keeps me toasty close to its 20 degree rating even when wet. I am
hoping to get something in the 1-1.5 lb range with a 20-30 degree rating.
Will definitely look into the Ray Jardine kit (didn't know it had a
synthetic option!), although I am not equipped to put it together myself
and would have to take it somewhere to be sewn. I am also considering the
MLD Spirit which gets good reviews with decent specs and cost.

Cheers!
Fatty
