    The quilt looks like a winner, but I think the Magma 30 sleeping bag is severely under filled. For example, the Magma quilt has 10.5 ounces of 850 goose down for size regular while the Magma 30 bag size regular has 8.5 ounces. In theory, the bag should have more because it includes a hood and wrap around baffles. Looking at other bags of this type, they typically range from 10-12 ounces of down fill. The new Sea to Summit Spark bag (which looks intriguing) has 11 ounces of 850 down in size regular and has a narrower girth. I would say the Magma 30 sleeping bag should be rated to 40 degrees, at best.
