So... I sold on my custom PHD (which I bought off a one Ian Fitz for not very much money) in the hope to raise funds for charity as well as thinking I want a synthetic quilt... AS Tucas I'd been thinking.
The PHD was a minim sort in 300 fill weight and rated at close to zero (either -2 or +2 as the comfort limit but debatable as to which more accurate). It squished down lovely for my handlebars and had a lovely neck baffle as well as being a lovely piece of loveliness in itself. Weighed 595g but as with many a down fill item and PHD in particular it was very restricting for me as well as me not liking how down doesn't like being a little damp and takes a while to loft thereafter.
So, i had heart set on the AS Tuzas with similar rating to a minus zero... Now I've gone and seen the Tundra and it looks rather appealing. At -5 rating.. waterproof material (will this actually protect the down from feeling damp... not totally convinced) and a great -IMO - ethical outlook. Only 300g heavier than my PHD (may it live on with Mr Connely and both share great days together) and a rating of an extra 5C digits lower...
Over to you, thoughts please (btw. I'm gonna borrow the dosh of a mate for the Tundra but believe it'll be something that gets passed down to my little one, one day)...
