Ismail,

(That isn't a very Japanese sounding name.)  Why don't you sell these to people in Japan and keep all that postage charge you would pay for Sushi and Sake?

Hey Simon,

I'm not so fluent in Japanese and don't know any forums here to sell at

Besides I'm already stuffed with sushi and sake and could use some workout (read: walk) to postal office shipping these things

Nice reply Ismail, I like you already!

People are wary of new members on the site looking to sell things with no (or little) history.  Being so far away probably adds even more chance that you might be viewed suspiciously.

 That said you obviously have a good sense of humour and that helps in most situations (except funerals apparently).

Thanks for the reception Simon,

Big apologies if a newbie like me rushing to sell things here

Hi Ismail,

Haven't heard of this brand of quilt before, found there web site which quotes the following on sizing - what length and width is the quilt you have for sale please?

Our quilts come in 3 lengths to accommodate users of most heights:

72" for users upto 5'6" tall
78" for users upto 6' tall
84" for users upto 6'6" tall

We offer quilts in three widths to cover all user sizes and applications:

SLIM is a straight taper which is well suited to hammock users (both as top or underquilt), back sleepers, and users who have a slim or athletic build. 48"head tapering to 38"foot.

REG is a half taper and is best suited to users who sleep either in a hammock or on a ground pad on their backs, slimmer side sleepers, and slimmer users that toss and turn in the night. 52" head half tapered to 40" foot.

WIDE is a half taper and is best suited to larger users who sleep either in a hammock or on a ground pad, side sleepers, and users that toss and turn in the night. 56" head half tapered to 42" foot. Epiphany and Epiphany APEX can not be offered in this cut due to thinner material widths

Hi Neville,

It is one of newly established USA cottage manufacturer so chances are big that many haven't heard of it. However the craftmanship is excellent, if you google "Tim Marshall quilt" you'll find people rave the quilts he made. I decided to sell this because someone gave his quilt to me...

I am sure I ordered the slim one.  I have 98cm chest (38.5"), tried this quilt while wearing a Montane AntiFreeze-class down jacket and it fit just fine without compressing the jacket.

Neville,

Enlightened Equipment  have a good reputation over on BPL in the States.

See this and this.

Edited to add: Ismail may be new here, but he has posted many times on the BPL forum.

Ismail, William,

Thanks for the updates.

Looks like a nice bit of kit but will be too small unfortunately, I was inquiring for a friend who would need the 78" length and either Reg or Wide width.

William, Stephen

Thanks for your testimonials

Btw lower price for the quilt:  £100 for a -1C, 510g quilt inc. shipping
