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

 I've had it for about two to three years now and it's been holding up great. It has a lifetime warranty too, so you know I should have this thing forever. All right, so let's talk about some of the differences here. So a quilt with the same temperature rating as a mummy bag is usually about 20 to 30% lighter

 So yeah, as I said before too, it's going to be 20 to 30% lighter than a sleeping bag, but it's also going to take up less space and compress down more. This bag is filled with treated down, which I would never use a down bag that wasn't treated. And the reason for that is regular down, if it were to get wet, it would lose all of its ability to insulate you. People have actually died in wet sleeping bags

 And the other reason I decided to keep both bags is in really cold temperatures below zero, I will bring both bags, both quilts, and I will use them together, and I can stay warm down to like negative 20, negative 30 degrees. Yeah, these quilts are warm. If you guys have any questions at all, leave a comment below, and yeah, say hi, say what's up. Like this video if you haven't yet, that really helps me out, and it helps other people find this content

 That really helps me out you guys. Over the past decade, I've probably gone through about, I'd say, seven or eight different quilts and sleeping bags. And I've really come to just prefer a quilt over a traditional mummy bag. And I'm going to tell you guys why

Best ULTRAlight Backpacking Quilt | Watch BEFORE Buying a Mummy Bag

 In this video, I'm going to show you guys why I prefer using a quilt over a traditional mummy bag.

 I'm also going to show you guys what my favorite ultra lightweight backpacking quilt is.

 For those of you new to the channel, my name is Iron. If you like backpacking,

 be sure to subscribe to my channel and give this video a like. That really helps me out you guys.

 Over the past decade, I've probably gone through about, I'd say, seven or eight different quilts

 and sleeping bags. And I've really come to just prefer a quilt over a traditional mummy bag.

 And I'm going to tell you guys why. So before I get into the differences between a quilt and

 a mummy bag, I'm going to show you guys my my ultralight quilt of choice. So this is an

 enlightened equipment enigma quilt. So you can see here the toe box is sewn and then it's just

 pretty much an open bag from there. Just love this thing. Not recommended enough. It is by far my

 most favorite quilt or sleeping bag I've ever used. I've had it for about two to three years now

 and it's been holding up great. It has a lifetime warranty too, so you know I should have this thing

 forever. All right, so let's talk about some of the differences here. So a quilt with the same

 temperature rating as a mummy bag is usually about 20 to 30% lighter. But that's not really

 why I use a quilt. I roll around a lot in my sleep and I've found that in most mummy bags,

 especially ultralightweight mummy bags, are usually pretty tight cut. I get twisted up in them and

 wake up a lot all disoriented trying to find my zipper in the middle of the night. And yeah,

 I find that to be extremely annoying. You're not going to have that problem with a quilt.

 It's way less restrictive. Having the toe box sewn in here, your feet still stay in place,

 which is really nice. The other major benefit that the quilt has over the mummy bag is it's

 really easy to regulate the temperature. So say it's summertime and you only have one 20 degree bag,

 it's a lot easier to just lift a flap up on your quilt than to try to do that in a sleeping bag

 with a zipper. It's very difficult. So the quilt is an excellent way to really dial in the perfect

 amount of warmth. Another thing that I really like about the quilt, I find myself a lot of times

 when I wake up in the morning, I'll be hanging out in my tent. Since this opens up so wide,

 I can cover up all my legs and stay really really warm. That can also be very difficult

 in the traditional mummy bag. Yeah, so those are the main benefits of the quilt in my opinion

 over a mummy bag. All right, so let's talk about potential downfalls. So obviously there's no

 hood on this, but me personally, you know, I always have my beanie with me. I'm always wearing clothes

 with hoods. So you know, I find that I personally don't really need an attached hood to my bag.

 And then I'd say the only other major drawback is potential drafts coming through the bottom of your

 bag. So this quilt has clips here and you can attach a strap to your pad and buckle those in.

 I went with a size wide quilt and you know, I tried the clip system out,

 but I found that I just really don't need it.

 But with this bag being so wide, it's really easy for me to tuck both sides under me

 and not have any drafts come through my bag. So personally, I prefer not to go with the strap

 system, but as I said before, I went with a wide, size wide, and I did that on purpose.

 Me and my fiance are actually both able to even share this same quilt, having it be a size wide,
