I do that too. For that reason alone I think a quilt wouldn’t suit me.Shirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328215242805363854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-43783789973707485332017-06-12T03:46:10.056+01:002017-06-12T03:46:10.056+01:00I'm bumping up to a quilt because I sleep on m...I'm bumping up to a quilt because I sleep on my side with one leg drawn up. I'm also claustrophobic. :-) Returned my mummy bag after just one night. Anyway, I've been stuck with a rectangular bag for a while and am so excited about a quilt! I think it's just made for my kind of sleeping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-20890574177986285622017-05-29T08:52:47.770+01:002017-05-29T08:52:47.770+01:00I like the 3/4 zipper in my Lightwave bag: if it i...I like the 3/4 zipper in my Lightwave bag: if it is hot, I can use it like a quilt with foot box, like Jardine did in the beginning. Most quilts are not lighter than my bag. I don't like drafts when freezing.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088190574998060171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-89229601247420674942017-05-25T13:15:17.537+01:002017-05-25T13:15:17.537+01:00I considered buying a Sea To Summit brand quilt bu...I considered buying a Sea To Summit brand quilt but settled for one of their lightweight sleeping bags. It has a zip down one side and a drawcord base. This allows it to function much like a quilt, which proved functional on a recent van camping trip in Tasmania.<br /><br />Being able to fip open a bag to vent it and shed excess heat is useful here in Australia on warm nights.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06630702144001478819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-91480034659936408542017-05-25T09:03:34.621+01:002017-05-25T09:03:34.621+01:00I prefer sleeping bags too.

In my ideal 3 season bag, a very short zipper in the foot end of the bag would would prevent the bag from boiling in hot situations.pro2typehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251192431538293460noreply@blogger.com
