- Quilt Material properties :
- Both 15D and 10D are heat calendared on the inner side (which is inside against the down insulation) . This gives them a down proof quality as well as a built in windproof characteristic. The outer side (which is against your skin) feels softer to the touch.
- Please keep in mind that as a light weight fabric you should be careful when stuffing and unstuffing it in bags. You don’t want to accidentally break stiches in the baffles.
- As a reference many commercial sleeping bags use a 20D or 30D (+) fabric. Bulky and heavy yet harder to destroy.
- 15D Info:
- 15D will also have a bit more down-proofed built into it due to it’s being a bit thicker.
- 15D (denier) and 10D fabrics are both considered ultralight (UL) weight.
- 15D is slightly more durable and wind resistant.
- 10D Info:
- Good for inner and outer fabric choices.
- Slightly lighter and less bulky than 15D but it’s a small difference.
- There are two variations of 10D used at LSoH.
- .7 oz/yd which is a bit firmer in touch and also has more windproofed and down-proofed characteristics.
- Burnt Orange, Dark Olive, Purple, Moss, Forest Green
- .67 oz/yd is slightly lighter (negligable) and softer to the feel.
- (Black taffeta, Moroccan Blue, Dark Grey)
- Some hikers like the black taffeta on the inner for feel and having a black side to help the sun warm up and air out the quilt easier.
- .7 oz/yd which is a bit firmer in touch and also has more windproofed and down-proofed characteristics.
