My older quilt is 20d and has held up fine for the past 4 years. and has lost a minimal amount of feathers. My newer quilt is 10d and I appreciate the softer hand, haven't used it long enough to speak to down leakage or tears.. My quilt is always in a storage sack, stuff sack or in my tent so I'm not too worried about the outer fabric, occasionally I will leave it on some rocks to air dry but the majority of the time it's protected.juliabrooke wrote: At this point I'm looking at an EE Revelation 10 degree Short length/Regular width. Is the 10 D fabric of good function/durability? Or should I take the 20 D instead? Again, I'm 5'6" ~130 lbs female. Someone had mentioned not to underestimate the benefits of a wide quilt. their regular width is 54″ head half tapered to 40″ foot and the short is geared towards users up to 5'6" tall. Not sure if I should go with the regular length/wide width instead.
Thanks again!
For width for you I think a normal width would be fine. I have broad shoulders and appreciate the width when moving from side to side. If I recall on the EE website there is a chart that correlates to body sizes and widths. I'd recommend sending an email or phone call to Tim at EE to be on safe side though for sizing.
My newer quilt is 20 degree 10d wide width and regular length and I'm 5'11" and 200" lbs. It weighs ~ 22 ounces.
