light but not warm to rated temp.

By lightingbo100086262 Ranked #90 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags December 3, 2008

At 19 oz this thing is light but the 20*F rating is off by 10-15 degrees. The Ultra 20 only keeps you cool not warm at 25*F with softshell pants, TNF Impulse Hoodie (hood on), wool socks and beanie on. Compared to my Golite Feather 20* bag with the same clothes minus the hood on the hoodie and the beanie I can go to 13*F and be toasty warm. I was useing a montbell ul 90 and GG 3/8" CCF pad in both cases. This quilt is more a 30/35* rated quilt. Stitch quality is poor as well. Found several loose threads on both edges and down coming out. The plastic loops look and feel very fragile as well. The straps are way too long as well. The shape and size are great for great coverage that keeps drafts at bay. The loft is just lacking for the 20*F rating.
