    Hammock Gear in the USA makes good value lightweight quilts with pertex outer shells, specifically their Economy Burrow Top Quilt. If you're really looking for ultralight, then definitely consider a quilt over a traditional sleeping bag. A quilt does away with the side draft tube and the hood of traditional sleeping bag. Instead you can just wear a beanie (that you're probably walking in anyway). If you think about it, you don't gain anything from the top quality down feathers you paid big money for if you're lying on top of them and compressing the down between your sleeping mat. Down needs to be lofted to trap warm air amongst its fine fibres. A good quality sleeping mat takes advantage of the quilt design.

    Pro tip for anyone wanting to check out Hammock Gear. If you add a quilt to the cart and go to the checkout, put all your details in and then quit. About 24 hours later you'll probably get an email with a 10% off code.
