Hi Taylor, we’ve ordered several EE quilts, and they have gotten better over the years. As for the actual measurements, I’m not quite sure, but maybe EE can help with that? Sorry to not be more help.

I know EE have made adjustment to the quilt. I also am curious (for example) what a 58" wide quilt actually measures as I’ve heard and EE states it will differ once stuffed. Thank you in advance!

Hey Austin, great question. It depends on the temperatures that you’re going to encounter, but I would say you made an excellent choice. Those are the same specs that I would’ve chosen if you’re planning on sleeping in temps right around freezing or just below. If you do get chilly, you can bundle up with a puffy coat and extra clothing on cold nights. As far as waterproof stuff sacks, I would recommend checking out our top picks list (there’s a link in the top menu bar under the gear guide) and have a look at the sea to summit evac model. We use a 13 L evac for our sleeping bags because the air can compress out of them in our backpacks but they’re still waterproof. Hope that helps!

Also, is there any suggestions for waterproof stuff/compression sacks out there, ive seen guys use Zpacks, but dont know what size to get since i haven’t received my bag yet.

Hi David. The EE quilt itself was really nice and is so much better than a sleeping bag. That $100 charge was a killer though. They could have easily ate it up and I would have left a happy customer and given them positive reviews. For small companies like EE, word of mouth is important to generate business so was it really worth $100 for them to receive a potentially negative review? Plus, I planned on buying three more quilts from them in 2018 but that transaction has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I will look for other cottage companies to do business with. For EE, I would strongly recommend to them that they amend their return/exchange policy to reflect any fees that they may charge and the reason for it. That way the customer will know beforehand and plan accordingly.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience Ashley, but thanks for sharing your feedback.

They charged me $100 because I returned a quilt for a bigger size and they said that it smelled like cigarette smoke and it would cost $100 to clean it. I’m sorry but any returned quilt will have a smell even if its not from cigarette smoke. For example, their return policy states that you can try a quilt out for 40 days and if you are not happy, you can return it. Well, in theory you could backpack with the quilt for 40 days and then return it but after 40 days of continued use, it will be a little funky. I would have assumed that they wash all of their returned quilts before reselling them so cigarette smoke should not matter. Plus, if they do not wash their returned quilts before reselling them, that is pretty nasty. The bottom line: I love their quilts but that $100 fee has turned me off to this company and I will not do business with them again nor will I recommend them.

Hey Joel,
Thanks for the comment and I’m sorry to hear you had a negative experience with EE. I’ve used quilts too small and not wide enough in the past and the experience definitely sucks. That’s why we always recommend bumping up one size in width and length for extra coverage on chilly nights. If your quilt is too small or does not have enough down in it, you will almost definitely be too cold when the temperature drops. Still, you provide a good word of warning to other buyers, so thanks for the insight and happy hiking!

I had this 0 degree bag and i was freezing at night and i did strap it correclty. I came to the conclusion the the seller i called sold me a quilt too small for me. So i called them back after 3 weeks on trail. They told me their policy is only 40 days and i past it ( compared to a year for all other major sleeping bag companies) They didnt want to help me at all and prefered to let me freeze than exchanging it for a bigger one or give me the money back. Go for a feather friends, zpack or rei instead.
