Thread: Quilts - Whose Using One Instead of a Sleeping Bag?

Cheers for the responses guys. I end up twisted up like a bra in the dryer in my sleeping bag.

I've potentially got an opportunity to get some gear back from the USA with a colleague in a couple of weeks.

What does this weigh in at? I've lost faith in manufacturer stated numbers.

I’m in Aussie at the moment so can’t weigh it. From memory though it was between 700-800 grams

Real World Weights:

-6c Quilt:

Enlightened Equipment, Revelation Quilt 850 Downtek Treated, Temperature 20°F (-6°C), Length- regular 6', width 54" Outside Fabric 20d, Inside 10d
Down Type (DownTek Treated):

Weight 670 grams, no straps




-1 Degree Quilt

Enlightened Equipment, Revelation Quilt 850 Downtek Treated, Temperature 30°F (-1°C), Length- regular 6', width 54" Outside Fabric 20d, Inside 10d
Down Type (DownTek Treated):

Straps

Each quilt takes 2 x 13g straps. I only use one in winter as the dog wants part of the action up top.

I know what you mean I use my bag opened like a quilt but I add my thermal blanket would not go without it light and rolls up real small warm as
