Our top choice for the ounce counters out there is the Feathered Friends Flicker 40 UL. This innovative model incorporates a truly full-length zipper that allows it to function as a hoodless mummy bag or an open quilt. This design greatly extends its usable temperature range. When opened as a quilt it offered plenty of ventilation for a warm summer night. Meanwhile, its 8.4 ounces of 950+ fill power goose down proved to be capable all the way down to its 40° F temperature rating. That makes this bag an ideal choice for thru-hikers or serious backpackers looking for one lightweight model that can handle of range of conditions.
One obvious drawback to the Flicker 40 UL is its expensive price tag. We think its quality matches its price, but that price may not be justifiable for all but the most serious ultralight aficionados. The hoodless design of this bag is also a compromise. Its warmth-to-weight ratio is certainly outstanding, but you can attain an even higher warmth-to-weight ratio with a hooded mummy design. Still, we believe the added versatility of the Flicker is worth this compromise. 

Switchback Travel

If we had one word to describe the Flicker UL from Feathered Friends, it would be “versatile.” On one hand, the Flicker has nearly identical specs as the Hummingbird UL sleeping bag above, with 11.6 ounces of 950-fill down (the Hummingbird has 11.5), very similar weights, and a full-length zipper. On the other hand, with no hood and a cinchable footbox, it can be opened up like a quilt in warm weather (the “Wide” version is great for plus-sized backpackers or two sleepers). It’s tough to categorize the Flicker UL, but at the end of the day, it’s both quilt and sleeping bag, which is quite an impressive feat.

The biggest point of differentiation between the Flicker UL and other quilts on this list is the full-length zipper. While some might complain that a zipper adds weight, others will appreciate the versatility. For example, the Enlightened Equipment Enigma above may offer a superior warmth-to-weight ratio, but that’s if you get it just right—any movement in the night can expose your body to cold drafts. On the other hand, 1 pound 6 ounces is heavy for most quilt fans. In the end, we recommend the Flicker as a nice all-in-one option for those on the fence between sleeping bag and quilt.See the Feathered Friends Flicker UL

 For example, I use the Flicker like this as a top quilt in a hammock. The Flicker can be opened completely and used as a down comforter.As a Down ComforterUnzip the Flicker all the way so it lays completely flat to use it as a down comforter in very hot weather. The advantage of this configuration over many backpacking quilts is that your feet will be cooler because they’re not trapped in a foot box

 This is a feature you find in the very best backpacking and ultralight sleeping bags and quilts. I’ve taken this bag down to the low-40’s and feel that I could easily take it down to the mid-thirties, without a problem.Water-resistant/Breathable ShellThe exterior shell of the Flicker 40 is made with ultralight 10 denier Pertex Endurance (0.94 oz/yd² total weight), a water-resistant/breathable fabric that protects the Flicker from condensation and splashback in tents, under tarps, or when sleeping out in the open

Cinch the adjustable foot box and draft collar closed in order to snug the ends of the Flicker tight against the bottom of your hammock.RecommendationWhen I first received the Feather Friends Flicker 40 UL, I wondered if it was a bit overbuilt for three-season backpacking. Was an insulated draft collar really necessary or a full-length zipper? While highly desirable, you don’t find these features on other ultralight quilts or hoodless sleeping bags.Then I started using the Flicker UL 40 on backpacking and camping trips and became a complete convert to the design philosophy behind this bag

The Feathered Friends Flicker 40 UL Quilt Sleeping Bag is a 19-ounce quilt sleeping bag designed for backpackers and climbers who want to the flexibility and lightweight of an insulated sleep system that can be used in many ways, including:a hoodless sleeping bag for tent or cowboy camping under the starsan ultralight quilt in a tent, under a tarp, or in a hammocka down comforter in a tent or under a roofor a hammock underquiltIf it’s hard to imagine how a single piece of gear could perform in all of those roles, let’s look at the key features of the Flicker and how they can be used to configure it in different ways.As a Hoodless Sleeping BagThe Flicker 40 UL is easy to configure as a hoodless sleeping bag that ideal if you prefer wrap-around insulation and draft protection over using an open-backed quilt.A hoodless sleeping bag is good for cooler weather when you want added security of wrap-around insulation and draft protection.Full-Length ZipperFeaturing a full-length zipper, you can sleep on your back with the zipper on top or rotate the bag to your right or left if you prefer having the zipper along one side

If you can’t sit still, this is the bag for you. The built-in legs mean you don’t have to hike it up around your waist to walk around.

 It states it fits to a 5’5”: NO WAY! It fits fine to stand up and generally walk but nothing more. Tried sitting down, laying down, but the inseam is so short it does not allow for freedom of movement. I’m not claustrophobic in any way, but I could not extend my legs out, curl up on the couch in a sleeping position because I had NO room lengthwise. 

 literally. At 5’2, 125 lbs, I got a Medium. It states it fits to a 5’5”: NO WAY! It fits fine to stand up and generally walk but nothing more. Tried sitting down, laying down, but the inseam is so short it does not allow for freedom of movement

  They are not proportional, very awkward, the material is weird and the shape are poorly designed as they are WAY oversized to wear without shoes (I am a 7.5 ladies) but.I can’t see wearing shoes with them on. If I take them off the legs are too short and would get a ton of cold air

Falls “Short”

 It was clear that the smaller size would be a better choice if I really want to be mobile while wearing this. One good solution if you have the larger size is to purchase some of those shoe covers that people use for coming indoors with muddy boots, and put them on the feet of this walking sleeping bag, which not only protects the fabric, but also helps you to walk easier. You can take it a step further (pardon the pun) by slipping some oversized knee socks on there to help keep fabric snug at the feet. Really, the design would have been much better if it had included a few velcro straps around the feet to cinch it up

At 5 ft 9, my body is in-between sizes. I ordered the larger size, which did give me a lot of nice room, but made it difficult to walk around.

One good solution if you have the larger size is to purchase some of those shoe covers that people use for coming indoors with muddy boots, and put them on the feet of this walking sleeping bag, which not only protects the fabric, but also helps you to walk easier

Choose carefully if between sizes

Maximum comfort and I love the warmth. I can easily sleep in this without a blanket. I can’t believe they haven’t made one of these sooner. Next camping trip I’m packing this instead of my sleeping bag

Love the warmth and comfort

 This felt like it was made for me! I’m attaching a video of me getting into it, and a picture of my son wearing it at a sleepover. He’s 5’6” and weighs around 125. I’m now trying to figure out if I can use waterproof spray to protect it so I can wear it to an outdoor beer and music festival.  I really wanted a retro looking snowsuit, and this is a multipurpose item

Freaky awesome!

 I wish, however, that the outside fabric were stronger. It's fine inside the house, but going outside to do minor chores has caused some tears in the material.

Wearing this around the house all winter.
