I bought this quilt because I got claustrophobic being confined in a mummy bag. I began using my mummy bag as a quilt and realized how much wasted space and weight I was carrying this way.
I purchased the midrange level quilt 800 fill/long and when I received it was skeptical if it was going to be warm enough when I saw the size of it. I took it to the test and went into the high Sierras and was sweating in 30 degree weather. The temperature dropped down to 19 degrees. I was sleeping on an insulated air mattress wearing a pair of shorts and t-shirt. I stayed warm enough that I was sweating.
This quilt allows you open up and ventilate very easily so you can regulate your comfort zone. After taking this quilt out on three separate week-long hikes there is no way I will ever go back to a sleeping bag. I love this quilt enough I would trust it on a winter trip. It is a 3-plus-season quilt even being rated at 30 degrees.
This is a must have for any hiker wanting to cut weight and space without fear of being cold.

Thanks for sharing your quilt review, Mike. I'd love to see some pictures of yours, if you're willing to share them. Also, I believe you have the Sierra Sniveler model, right? If not, just let me know and I'll make sure it's on the right product page. Thanks!

A high quality, 3/4-length, down UnderQuilt demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship. Exceeds similar products I have tested. The Greylock 3 supports my premise that America's cottage industry providers exceed most items that are mass-produced.
Pros
- Very well made
- Made in the USA
- Weight (16 oz)
- True to temperature rating
Jacks 'R' Better (JRB) is a cottage industry manufacturer of hammocks and hammock products. Its reputation is well-known and, quite rightly, excellent. Having compared this product to the ENO Ember, JRB proves that many cottage industry companies provide better and lighter equipment.
I purchased my Greylock 3 used off of eBay. The seller did not care for a 3/4-length (i.e. torso-length) UnderQuilt and was selling this in order to upgrade to a full-length UQ. While I could not pass up the $130 price tag, I will agree I would prefer a full-length UQ. This one criticism of the Greylock 3 would be a con of any shorter UQ, and does not speak to the quality of the product itself. It does what it is designed to do.
I have owned this UQ since February 2013, and I have lost count of how many nights I have slept in it. I have used it in a wide range of temperatures. Tending to be a “cold sleeper,” I have only become uncomfortable at temperatures below 23°F, which is within the 20F-25°F comfort range established by the manufacturer.
A sub-freezing night in the Garden of the Gods Wilderness Area.
The Greylock 3 uses 1.1oz, 30 Denier, rip stop nylon with 800-fill down. For an additional fee, the UQ can be purchased overstuffed or with 800-fill Activ-dri down, which is suppose to deal better in damp conditions. I have not tested these options.
The UQ is baffled to keep the down in place. Construction and stitching is exceptional. It is surprising that something so light and seemingly delicate can provide so much warm (In way of warning JRB's website does remind users that lightweight materials do not withstand much abuse. They also state that with proper care their products can last for a lifetime.).
I have used the 42”x52” UQ with three different-sized hammocks. I have found it to work well with all of them, including my 132”x60” DangerBird. Because it is only a torso-length UQ, an additional pad or even a backpack is required for insulating the legs and feet.
Fitted to my 60' wide DangerBird.
The Greylock 3 is fitted to the hammock using an adjustable shock cord that clips to each end of the hammock with micro-biners (included and part of the established 16oz weight). The UQ slides along this cord through sewn channels in order to place it where it is needed.

The cord is twisted in this pic to show the JRB logo.
Adjustable draw cords are placed on each end to close the air gap and bring the insulation up against the hammock.

The UQ comes with its own compression sack. However, I prefer to simply stuff the UQ into the bottom of my pack.
Summation: At only 16oz, the Greylock 3 is lighter than many pads and provides full coverage around the shoulders and hips. While I would prefer a full-length UQ, I have been immensely satisfied with the Greylock 3. The quality and craftsmanship make this product well worth the purchase.

If I didn't already have 2 Underquilts for my hammock, the Jacks R Better quilt would be a strong contender.

I got their Mt Washington 3 underquilt when I bought my Hammock at Trail Days. My understanding is that it's the full-length version of yours. It was wonderful on cold nights. When it warmed up, I thought I could get away with just a partially inflated Thermorest pad under me. I gave that concept up after a miserable 58 degree night! Could not keep my shoulders warm. Damn thing kept shifting under me .. I went back to the UQ, and probably won't change!

Goose..this was my first UQ purchase and it worked really well. But like you and others, I prefer a full length UQ even though they're heavier. If you're carrying a sit pad it's usable , but if not, with a 3/4 length UQ, you still have to have something to keep your feet and legs insulated, so IMHO, it's a wash when it comes to weight difference between UQs.
