Switchback Travel

Some ultralighters and thru-hikers opt for a sleeping quilt, which have an open-back design that wraps around your sleeping pad and therefore cuts even more weight. And quilts are the bread and butter of Minnesota-based Enlightened Equipment, so it’s no surprise to see their Enigma at the top of our list for 2022. It packs a serious punch with a whopping 12.4 ounces of down, which is all concentrated along the front and side of the body. Further, Enlightened Equipment quilts are handmade and can be customized into a wide variety of sizes (16 combinations of length and circumference), plus you have the option of 850- or 950-fill down along with a whole range of temperature ratings. Priced at a reasonable $310 for the 30-degree model, the Enigma is our top choice for a sleeping quilt.

We’re big fans of sleeping quilts for their versatility and weight savings, but they’re not the ideal pick for every backpacker. The backless design makes it hard to fully batten down the hatches in cold weather, and with no hood you’ll want to be sure to pack additional coverage for your head (a beanie or hooded down jacket will do). Added up, we’d hesitate to take the Enigma into true winter conditions, although we certainly know those who do (it’s offered in a 0˚F version). Finally, as is the case with most cottage-industry brands, be sure to factor in a wait time: Most Enlightened Equipment products are made to order, which is great for customization, but products from larger companies often are available quicker.See the Enlightened Equipment Enigma Quilt

Backpacking quilts are the bread and butter of Minnesota-based Enlightened Equipment (EE), so it’s no surprise to see their Enigma at the top of our list for 2022. This quilt packs a serious punch with a whopping 15.5 ounces of down—that’s more than all but one of the sleeping bags listed above—and it’s all concentrated along the front and side the body. Further, EE quilts are handmade, can be customized into a variety of sizes (16 combinations of length and circumference), and you have the option of 850- or 950-fill down, along with a whole range of temperature ratings. Priced at a reasonable $335, the Enigma is our top choice for quilt fans and skeptics alike.

Speaking of skeptics: we were squarely in that camp before testing the Enigma but now are bona fide believers. In fact, we haven’t had one cold night in the 20-degree quilt, despite taking it to Patagonia, deep into the North Cascades, and up to 12,000 feet in the Sierra. And we regularly opt for the Enigma over our ultralight Therm-a-Rest Hyperion 20 (above), as it’s far less constricting and vents better on warm nights. It's good to know that EE also makes the popular Revelation (which features the option for an open footbox), the zippered Convert and Conundrum, and the aptly named two-person Accomplice. And most Enlightened Equipment products are made to order, which is great for customization but not ideal for wait time (if you're not particular about colors, a stock version of the 20-degree Enigma ships within 2-3 days of placing your order).See the Enlightened Equipment Enigma

I would be more likely to recommend a quilt over a bag in almost every situation that isn’t sub-zero F, so my first suggestion would be a [20° Enlightened Equipment Enigma (Synthetic)](https://enlightenedequipment.com/enigma-apex-custom/), or a [15° Arrowhead Equipment White Cloud Topquilt](https://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p615/WhiteCloudTopQuilt

Hello fellow campers,  


I am looking for a sleeping bag that is very small in compact size yet has decent temperature specs (comfort -0; limit -5; extreme -20). Temperature specs can slightly vary. Please note that I am looking for a sleeping bag that is synthetic and NOT goose-down. Many thanks for your suggestions.

Sleeping bag recommendation

GG Gear did a great job getting my quilt to me quick after ordering.  As far as the quilt, I was very apprehensive to leave my sleeping bag, but honestly, I love this thing.  I move around a lot, and the quilt keeps me warm and feels like I am in my bed at home.  I bought the wide so I could tuck it under me and it surprised me 

  I'm now thinking about buying a summer weight EE quilt to round out my gear.  Thanks, Kevin S.  Alabama USA

  I move around a lot, and the quilt keeps me warm and feels like I am in my bed at home.  I bought the wide so I could tuck it under me and it surprised me .  I got the 10F model, and it kept me comfy into the 22F range.  And I haven't slept in any colder

EE Enigma Quilt

 Basically, if you buy a 10 degree quilt, there's 30 percent more down in it than there used to be. Now, temperature rating is kind of a tricky thing to talk about because really, it's such a idiosyncratic issue. it depends on so many individual factors like personal preference, but also things like what pad you're using, the location of your camp, even what food you ate before you went to bed. So it's really kind of subjective, even though it seems like it's an objective measurement

 So stick around so I can explain what I'm talking about. My new 2021 quilt is a 950 fill power and I went with the long and extra wide and zero degree rating. The total weight is 32 ounces. I also got a draft collar and that's one of the changes that that wasn't even an option before

 On top of that there's some really cool stuff up close that I think is worth pointing out. Now you've got a strap here, like you would expect with most quilts, that you can put underneath an inflated sleeping mattress to help secure it in the middle, and that's great, but here's a couple of things that I really really like about it. There's a kind of extra collar area here to help keep you warm around your head and shoulders, which I really like, but come and have a look up close here. You've got hanging hooks here, here, here, in various points here, and actually the little Pertex label for Katabatic here at the end, you can thread a little bit of cord paracord through as well

 The first one is you've got a choice, if I turn it over, you've got a choice of fills and sizes, and I think from memory I've got a regular here. I'm not the biggest of people, I'm about five foot eight, I'm five foot seven, and I think this whole system comes in under 19 ounces, which for an 800 fill sleeping bag rated down to pretty cold temperatures is really good, but here's what I love. The baffles here, which are those stitch bits which keep the fill together, are not cross-baffled, so you could argue, well hang on a second, this fill is going to move around quite a lot and it could leave like bare patches, and you're right, but that's also the advantage of this, because depending on how you're sleeping on your side, on your back, where you feel cold, you can custom squish this fill around to be thicker where you want it and not so thick where you don't want it, and so I actually see this as an advantage for somebody that's quite an astute kind of camper and is no specifically where they get cold. What I've also noticed, if you look here, the baffles down by the foot area are bigger and they're much more filled, so again, what Katabatic have done is they've said, hey, this is the area where people get cold the most, so let's give them a bit more warmth around their legs, around their feet, and also you'll notice from the quilt's point of view, you're completely enclosed in that section as well, also super awesome

 Okay, so here's a super quick look at the Katabatic, it's actually their Palisade quilt, and what I want to do is walk you through just why I really really love this as a product, and there's a couple of little things to look for that really make all the difference for me. I won't go into too much detail about the debate between sleeping bags and quilts, but the long and the short of it is, this is technically upside down as I'm showing it to you now, but this area here is where a sleeping pad is usually, and therefore because it gets squished down it's not providing any thermal insulation from a sleeping bag. So what quilts do is they say, well if you're slipped on a pad you don't need the insulation there because it only gets squished anyway by your body weight. So what you get is a saving in weight, and you also get a saving in weight because there's no zip, and that makes a significant difference overall to the weight of the product

 Now the reason that's cool is if you imagine this this way up, you can now easily attach

 this underneath a hammock, which is what I've been sleeping in last night, so that you've

 got insulation underneath your hammock so that you don't get a cold bum.

 So if you happen to sleep with two quilts like I do if I'm out in the cold in a hammock,

 the advantage of this is what they've done is built in a really easy way to attach it

 quickly and easily to the hammock, and it makes me very very happy.

 So that's a feature I haven't seen in too many quilts, which means that this quilt is

 great with just an inflatable mattress, but it's also awesome if you're using it with
