That said, their 20-degree 3-season down quilt, which they don't appear to make anymore, was my favorite piece of gear bar none for the PCT. Perfectly comfortable, warm, durable ... all that good stuff. I also have the Bitterroot down jacket and that's awesome too--it's almost too warm for 3-season camping. Lord knows what the labor practices overseas are like that allow them to sell so much good gear so cheaply, but as far as I have been able to see, it's still the real deal.
