anks so much for that, it looks a bit like a sleeping bag when zipped up."Contrary to its name, it’s not a sheet and it doesn’t use the spiral system that Montbell’s heavier down bags use. It’s just a down filled rectangular sleeping bag, without a hood, that scrunches up incredibly small in a stuff sack."

Thanks so much for your comment .. I hadn't seen one before, and in the pictures the bag looked like a regular sleeping bag when zipped up."Contrary to its name, it’s not a sheet and it doesn’t use the spiral system that Montbell’s heavier down bags use. It’s just a down filled rectangular sleeping bag, without a hood, that scrunches up incredibly small in a stuff sack."

I bought a MontBell bag before they were discontinued and used it on two caminos. I loved it. My husband found a similar one on eBay (shipped from Hong Kong) that I actually liked better because it doesn't constrict your legs and is a bit fluffier than mine. The quality is very good. Search for "ultralight" sleeping bags on eBay. Here is a link to the one my husband bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adult-Campi...hash=item3d1aa083b8:m:mepzaeAMwx6bwWckN1095Cg
Costco was selling these duvets last winter for under 30$. I bought a number of them, as throws for the house, presents and one for the Camino. Good thng I did because now Amazon sells these for 3 ti,es the price, if not a lot more!

If you see them at Costco again I would sugest jumping on them!
I added snap buttons and a draw string at the bottom in case I wanted to convert it into a sleeping back if it got particularly cold.
The problem I found with the quilt is that it kept falling off the bed during the night. Beds are narrow on the Camino and the material sleeping bags and this duvet is soft and slippery. Has anyone else had to cope with this?
I am thinking of oadding more push butons to create a very large sleeping bag by attaching a light bottom part to the duvet, serving as a liner at the same time and keeping the duvet in the bed, not on the floor. I am just having a hard time finding an ultra light, compact material to do this.
Could you add snaps with one side on the silk liner bag and the other to the down quilt?I also bought a couple from Costco. The were excellent except for the slippery surface. I used one earlier this year on a winter Camino along with a silk sleep sac.
Just not satisfactory as it slid off constantly. I never was able to work out a good way to keep it on while sleeping.
