Jacks 'R' Better Sierra Sniveller


This quilt is lightweight, very compact, and ultra warm. If you are looking to cut weight and save space without compromise this is the quilt for you.
Pros
- Warm
- Lightweight
- Packs small
Cons
- A little pricey
I bought this quilt because I got claustrophobic being confined in a mummy bag. I began using my mummy bag as a quilt and realized how much wasted space and weight I was carrying this way.
I purchased the midrange level quilt 800 fill/long and when I received it was skeptical if it was going to be warm enough when I saw the size of it. I took it to the test and went into the high Sierras and was sweating in 30 degree weather. The temperature dropped down to 19 degrees. I was sleeping on an insulated air mattress wearing a pair of shorts and t-shirt. I stayed warm enough that I was sweating.
This quilt allows you open up and ventilate very easily so you can regulate your comfort zone. After taking this quilt out on three separate week-long hikes there is no way I will ever go back to a sleeping bag. I love this quilt enough I would trust it on a winter trip. It is a 3-plus-season quilt even being rated at 30 degrees.
This is a must have for any hiker wanting to cut weight and space without fear of being cold.

Decent features. But there was a miscommunication from the owner that caused a sleepless and cold night for me.
Pros
- Design features were good - I liked the cutout in the middle to wear in the morning to stay warm/dry any condensation
Cons
- Didn't perform as expected nor as assured by company
