[VIC Melb] Top end ultralight down quilt
Sat 12 Aug, 2017 4:08 pm
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:
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.
