    Slippery quilt and sliding liner

    ...much, and it seems there are many good sewers here, so I thought I'd ask for advice before I start on my bag and liner "upgrade". My slippery quilt (sleeping bag) slides off my bag liner; it will not stay put over the quilt for more than a few minutes. If I climb into the liner and zip the...

    Which Enlightened Equipment quilt

    I’m trying to decide on which temperature rated Enlightened Equipment Quilt for Camino Frances for the 1st week of March and probably the Plata the same time next year. I run cold and I’m trying to decide between the 30 or 40 degree rated quilt. For those that walk in the shoulder season how...

    Down quilt

    I’ve read posts about using a small down quilt inside a liner, which seems like a great idea. Where can these be purchased? Any brand recommendations? What size? Thank you!

    Adding a zipper to a Costco quilt

    I love my Costco down quilt — it’s super lightweight and warm and at about $/€35 very inexpensive too. But I thought it would be handy to be able to use it as a sleeping bag so I’ve added a full length lightweight zipper, at a cost of less than $/€5. This makes it considerably warmer than...

    Turning a sleeping bag into a quilt. Possible? Anyone tried?

    ...depending on whom you ask) and my sleeping bag measures a whopping 235cm(!) My idea is to cut off the superfluous part in the bottom of the sac and to add a drawstring making it possible to use both as a sleeping bag and as a quilt. Has anyone tried this adaptation? Any ideas or recommendations?

    Down blanket/quilt - in Oz

    In case anyone is interested, Costco in Australia also has the down blankets that our US colleagues talk about. Down quilt for $Aus29. A bargain if you are already a member of Costco. See this thread: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/costco-duvets-are-back-and-improved.49838/

    Under 1lb down quilt/bag?

    Already walked the Camino and am committed to a sleeping bag or quilt, from experience. Last time I used a fleece liner and it just didn't do it for me - I prefer more cushion and warmth at the end of the day. I also stay under 10b total, including the weight of the pack, so the weight of the...

    Sleeping on the del Norte in April/May - bag/quilt advice, please

    ...A last minute wobble. Ten days to go and I'm having doubts about my Quechua sleeping bag & liner. I really like the look of those sleeping quilts everyone is raving about, but time is running out so, a few questions: Can you buy sleeping quilts in the London area? (They certainly look...

    Sleeping Quilts v Sleeping Bags

    ...My sleeping bag alone is 4llbs, so that is the first thing that needs changing! I have been looking online and I have discovered sleeping quilts (new to me!). I really like this idea as I have a bed bug sheet, and the quilt will keep me snuggly warm, but they are also really light. Has...

    Cumulus V Enlightened bags and quilts?

    ...one of the following? Also, has anyone washed one? I've seen the Cumulus Magic 25 - which comes with a zip so I can open it a bit like a quilt and it's very light. http://sleepingbags-cumulus.eu/uk/categories/magic-125-zip-large?vid=1 And I've seen the Enlightened Prodigy - which also acts...

    Quick straw poll - light sleeping quilt or not? Leaving in three days

    ...be my third Camino, so I really should know the answer, but... I walked SJPP to Santiago this time last year with a lightweight down sleeping quilt and a silk liner. I'm starting again this Sunday (20/9/15), also from SJPDP and aiming for Muxia by around 30/10. My pack is packedand ready...

    Thinking about a backpacking quilt...

    Hi all, Instead of buying a sleeping bag (of which I have a few), I'm thinking of picking up a backpacking quilt. I've found a place that offers different temperature ratings and has quite a few options for size and weight. I'm thinking that something in the 40 degree range would be most...

    Quilting / fabric shops along the way?

    As a pretty keen quilter I was just wondering if there are any fabric stores along the Camino Frances? I know I won't be able to buy much, though I could always post a parcel home. I know it's not really in the spirit of the Camino, however I just thought I might be able to feed my addiction...
