I still own several quilts, but they are all rated 20+ degrees, colder the nod goes to a bag


yep. spend the extra bucks for a long, wide quilt

Agreed.


What about putting a quilt over/around a conventional bag to have a quilt for summer and add the quilt to bag for colder? If a good idea should I go with the same size as the sizing guides say or go a little wider? I have an old Big Agnes Lost Ranger 15 and looking at adding a Enlightened Equipment Revelation 10.
