I used this for the first time during an overnight backpacking trip in the Smoky Mountains this past weekend. I paired it with just a Thermarest Z Lite Sol sleeping pad, with the campsite situated in a valley next to a creek (Campsite 50, for those that are wondering).
This quilt is awesome. Coming from a traditional/mummy setup, this thing blew them out of the water. I was worried about the closed foot design, especially compared to the EE quilt it's based around, but I think it is actually a good thing. With the provided straps I was able to keep it in place on the pad; the quilt, lay-flat, design I was able to roll around as needed without feeling constricted. Personally, I left the foot vent open and would move my feet in or out depending on need without worry of being too cold, and felt that the open top design (I didn't use the top strap) let me easily pop an arm or two out as needed, too.
Possibly the best piece of camping equipment I've purchased (my WindBurner from MSR is up there). I would buy this again, maybe next time it will be at a slightly lower price since the quilt it is based on came out to be just $1 more...
