Thread: Lightweight sleeping quilt

I've got 2. A Burrow 20 from Hammock gear, and a Jacks r better 15 degree. Love them both. The burrow is like 600 grams and has kept me toasty down to about -3 so far, while my buddy was freezing in a bag that weighs twice as much.
There is a learning curve to them in regards to managing drafts, but I have not found this an issue at all even in the colder temps. WOuld be happy to about -5 in it which is pretty true to its rating.
I could combine both quilts and be crazy warm in about any temps and would still be lighter than the 32 degree synthetic bag it replaced.
Im a fan

Did you have to upgrade your mat aka x-therm etc? cheers.

Have a look at Enlightened Equipment they have a good selection

-5 should be perfect so I may opt for that choice. Thanks for the replies

I use either a exped winterlite (awesome piece of kit) or an exped simlite (which is what I used before) The -3 night was up the top of the Umakarikari summit, and that was on the simlite, which I think has an r value of around 3 give or take. I haven't noticed an appreciable difference in them from the bag to the quilt. I reckon if you have a pad that is suitable for your temps youll be sweet. That squished down ain't doing shit anyway
