JRB Wearable Quilts

The Sierra Stealth

The Sierra Sniveller

The High Sierra Sniveller

The Jacks ‘R’ Better philosophy in creating our 900 Fill Power option.

First of all, we have not redesigned the quilt shells.  Whether the insulation is 800 fill power down or 900 fill power down they are the same width and length.  A three season model has a two inch baffle and a winter model has a three inch baffle.  That means for a given quilt model, the internal volume is the same.  The difference is that it requires less 900 fill power down by weight to fill that volume than it does 800 fill power down.  Thus 900 fill power three season quilt will weigh about 1.5 ounces less than the same quilt with 800 fill power down.  Similarly, a 900 fill power winter model will weigh about 2.25 ounces less than the same winter quilt with 800 fill power and a 900 fill power summer quilt will weigh about 0.75 ounces less than a summer quilt with 800 fill power down.  The basic performance of the quilts is established by the quilt dimension/design not by the insulation material.  We provide a 15-22% overstuff factor in all our quilts.  This over stuff compensates for deviations from certified standards and it provides for field variations in humidity from laboratory rating and testing standards.  It also reduces down shifting beyond normal expectations.

Again, the insulating performance of an 800 fill power quilt and a 900 fill power quilt of the same model are identical.  The 900 fill power version is simply lighter.

PICTURE NOT AVAILABLE

Unsurpassed comfort and utility for hammock or ground sleepers

 

Description:  Lighter than a similarly rated sleeping bag.  No squirming around to get in and out.  Easy to vent for temperature control.  It was designed with the ground sleeper in mind.  It is wider (52 inches) at the shoulders and down through the hips to eliminate drafts, and then tapers to 42 inches at the foot end; the foot box has been lengthened for better tuck control; and six lacing tabs have been added to the sides to secure the quilt around a pad if desired.  This sew through, down quilt alternative to our standard baffled, down quilts is ideal for use when temperatures are not expected to be below 40-45°. Form the foot box and use as a top quilt or wear as a serape using the non-snagging Velcro re-sealable head hole.  For individuals over 5 feet 10 inches tall we offer a long version (86" in length).  Includes a 1.2 oz. JRB silnyl compression sack, and can be compressed to the size of a softball or small melon 7"x7"x5".
