Gents, thanks for the food for thought.
Reading between the lines, the quilt is seemingly less about weight savings and more about comfort for those that don't like mummy bags?
It seems, by the time you add a pad warm enough to cover anticipated temps comfortably, you're right back where you started weight-wise with a mummy and lighter pad.
Decisions...
That's the primary logic behind a quilt- you'd use the same pad whether you use a quilt or bag, since the part of the bag under you is being compressed and not offering much in the way of insulating properties at all, so why not get rid of it and save some weight. Lots of quilt users also use a Neoair pad. Which pad do you use now?
