[VIC Melb] Top end ultralight down quilt

Custom Quilt - Nunatak USA Alpinist - Super warm

This custom quilt was made by the top USA ultralight quilt manufacturer https://nunatakusa.com/
I ordered it because I thought I'd go hiking in winter however this has never taken my fancy - it's too cold for me!

The quilt specifications are:

  • Made by http://www.nunatakusa.com
  • 3” (7.6cm) baffle height
  • 800+ fill down
  • Slightly overstuffed with down when ordered
  • Designed for someone up to 5 foot 10” tall (178cm)
  • A solid 6 inches of loft when measured in the photo below.
  • Pertex Quantum outer material
  • Black so it dries quickly if it gets wet
  • 726 gram weight without stuff sack
  • 2 tightening straps
  • 1 collar clip
  • Width at shoulders when stretched tight is 1300mm which was the Nunatak standard width

This is a warm quilt.
6” of total loft is what’s usually recommended for temperatures sub zero. However, I only ever used it near zero and I was toasty warm. That’s basically why I am selling it, I don’t camp in such cold conditions so it has had very limited use.
The bag has been stored in a large capacity storage sack to stop down compressing and I will send that with the quilt.

The bag is clean, has no smell and has always been slept in whilst wearing thermals and clean socks.
There is a tiny repair on the outer when I got it caught on a stick – see photo below. Also, I adjusted the strap positions to be more functional and the home machine sewing at the attachment is not 100% factory perfect but totally functional.
This quilt has tons of life left.

Price: $299 (would be around USD 400 new)
Accepted: cash or bank transfer

Pick up in Melbourne (Collingwood or Preston) or I can post around Australia for an additional $20.
