-***[http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/make-quilt/index.html DIY] 24 oz / way cheaper (primaloft available [http://www.seattlefabrics.com/insulations.html here])
-****alternative: 2 layers of climashield apex. Primaloft sport wears faster, isn't as effective of an insulator (warmth to weight ratio). Primaloft Gold is great but really hard to find.
