Jeff for “summer-ish” temps I’m still using quilts, for everything else I’ve gone bag to bags.

Just let her know there is a little bit of a learning curve with quilts- one you need a adequate head covering, two you have to practice a bit with what ever attachment system you use- if you don’t, you’ll be be paid with drafts, lastly go a little wider than what the manufacturer recommends- a little wider is better than a little narrow

Tiny Elvis and I got 4.5 miles in- on snowshoes, 8-10” of new snow
