Review Pros :
……………..
Versatile-can be used in many ways. - Works for ground sleepers and hammock users
Easy to vent if you are getting warm
Price is excellent!
Good size for most people- easy to stay covered
Weight is also very good
Material is comfortable against the skin
Warmth; far warmer than what I was expecting. It’s rated for 50F but I have taken into the mid 40’s and was still warm. Your mileage will vary but 50F is accurate for most people.
Excellent quality all around with only Minor loose threads here and there
Good compression bag; it works and compresses quite small
No hood which allows for a seamless blanket/quilt use - with other similar products, I have never used the hood myself.
Review Cons :
………………
For some, a lack of hood could be a negative.
I would love to see snaps all the way to the top of the blanket so it could be used as a sleeping bag of sorts
It lacks a way to secure itself to a sleeping pad so that the user can toss and turn without it moving with them
Compression bag could be a bit bigger and that would make getting the blanket into it with a sloppy roll.
Because the nylon material is silky, rolling it tight enough to fit can be problematic.

"will this take you down to the claimed temperature, yes it will and lower" that's awesome! Thank you for the review of an alternative to the swagman! ATB Gary CT Backcountry.
Great product. Hey, thanks for flashing the Celsius on the screen, much appreciated.
Agreed, it’s annoying having to convert the temps all the time 👍🏻
Sunday morning coffee on a cold day in Yellowknife Canada and watching the coolest hand in the land = winning!
New Brunswick Canada here 👍
Yellowknife ? on my way
Would be great if you reviewed the Hill peoples gear mountain serape. It’s made in the US by veterans. Since you’ve done a Polish design and a Chinese design it’s would awesome to see how the US made design stacked up! Another great vid man keep it up! 👍🏼
A similar product that I have is the Klymit Versa Luxe blanket. It has an actual footbox, places to put your hands, and snaps around the body. I was able to locate one for only $43 at Sierra Trading Post. I don't have the official temperature information, but that's my personal contribution to this video.
He’s comparing it to survival bushcraft style rugged survival multiuse poncho. Versa luxe is a fancy backpacker blanket. Does not compare at all.
And this Onewind fails miserably against the Swagman without a hood
That's a neat product, thanks for sharing. At over twice the price, it's way off for me, but maybe once I get rich 😂
Maybe I'll just stich my own additions by copying that one though
I was a bit skeptical of your review, but because I’ve gotten a lot out of your content and I know you’re agenda-free, I bought one. You were right. This is a fantastic piece of kit, and an absolute steal at the price.
I like it better w/o the hood.
Thanks for the information and review. NOW ITS COFFEE TIME
I have one when I saw the swagman roll was so expensive this seemed like a good alternative definitely good product for the money. 👍
Yay! You reviewed onewind! I'm using their double hammock, underquilt, and additional blanket that takes the underquilt to even lower temps. Would live to see you review more items from onewind!
Nice! I was thinking of getting my whole setup form their brand as everything seems so great! Thid versatile top quilt, the underquilt and blanket combo (total bargain), wind sock and a tent-like tarp for wintertime.
How did everything hold up over time? Thanks in advance
I swear you always have perfect timing with when I want to watch a video lmao!
From the sounds of it this is similar in natured the military poncho liner, affectionately called a "woobie". The woobie does not have a hood, or at least mine didn't in the mid to late '70s. The poncho and the woobie combined were enough to keep me warm while trudging around a 100-acre military communications site doing security checks during the German winters. From the looks of it, it was designed, much like the military poncho and liner to be able to go over you and your rucksack. Sounds like a good product and at a darn good price.
I've had a OneWind blanket for a while now. Never heard of them before seeing a video by Blackie Thomas. It's a great blanket. I think this quilt and the blanket have the same material. Either way, it's an excellent idea.
Yeah, I have their hammock, underquilt, and the blanket that can be added to the UQ. I really do like their stuff - good quality at entry-level prices.
I wouldn't use the insulation in freezing or below, but anything above that and I'd feel pretty confident.
I've been using their underquilt for about a year now and like it too. Thanks for the look, Luke! Stay well.
Very nice and od green is a perfect color. The price is a good deal. Thanks for review Luke
I have used this all summer and have been very happy with it
I have the onewind quilt, hammock, and underquilt. This winter I will find its temperature capabilities. But so far 40 degrees it's very comfortable. I'm very pleased with the product and customer service.
I bet doubling up both version of the TQ would let you get down really low.
@@swj719 yes I'm sure it will. As the temperature drops here I will learn its limits. The top quilt can be used as a poncho without a hood also.
After your review Luke I decided to order one. I have the swagman-roll and love it, but I like the idea of the snaps, footbox, no hood and also an additional cover for my wife, I felt it was an awesome idea. Thanks!
Luke, thank you for all of your research and information !! You really do a great job from what I can see.
I'm an old fashioned guy. I like wool blankets. Not a fan of nylon. However, I prefer this to the Swagman.
Thanks for the review. S&H
I really liked the swagman roll but I didn’t like the hood and the size was too small for me being 6 foot six,I really liked this one and I ordered it immediately.
I have both the top quilt AND the underquilt for my hammock. They are absolutely the best to sleep with. I have found it to go below temps listed and easy to use to keep me warm. Onewind so far has provided great products for use in hammock camping as far as I have found over this last few months. Great review and agree with you on all points after having used this on several occasions, once down to 32 degrees. Thanks for the video and review.
I find items shaped like that go quite easily and more effectively in a packing square. Just ordered mine, thanks for the detail.
I have the green one and my wife has the blue. We both have gone down to low 40's upper 30's and both of us were comfortable. I did need to be nestled in and had good sleeping layers. Now I always do that but IU would feel confident taking the blue one myself down to freezing.
Hey Luke! Great video! I think I like the Onewind version better than the Swagman roll. It looks like the hole for your head to go through is bigger and gives you more room.
You know, If they were to make a snap on hood for those who would like one, this would be perfect.
I've been pondering on getting something like this. Thanks for reviewing it.
Your UA-cam followers need to find you a company that will hire you in their product development process. You amongst some others can really raise the bar in the outdoor gear industry. :: fingers crossed ::
All of them should listen. Practical and useful critiques.
I appreciated the thorough review, Luke!
I agree with you: hoods are mixed blessings! The ones on my equipment block my peripheral vision; they tend to hold in too much heat. If I needed to hunker down in cold weather or against a tree in cold, rainy weather, I would go with the hooded Swagman. Thanks for picking a key product to review!
I feel the same. I was born with an extra vertebra in my neck, meaning that no hoods except for "goblin" style ones ever come far enough forward on my head to be of any use, anyway.
One Wind could add an attachable hood to the 3 snaps in the head hole. That would at least offer people options. The down side might be that detachable things are more easily lost, but it still seems like a good idea.
Quilt is cool and the review is awesome powerful presentation Luke you did it man.
Based on your recommendation, I purchased this. Tested it and liked it so much that bought a second and the XL two-piece blanket.
It definitely meets the rated temperature. It is also pretty water resistant.
I am thinking about some more of these.
I also love this and it performs well insulation wise. It doesn't pack as small as a down bag which is odd, but it's super light still. I was also thinking of buying a second and seeing how low 2 x of the 35-50 degree versions could get me and how small I could roll them in one stuff sack. I realize I'd need an aftermarket stuff sack, but if I can get a 10 degree bag this light for what would be $100 total that be great. To get to 10 degrees you'd prolly also need a sol escape bivy and maybe a liner. I think with that sleep system.you'd be good for 4 seasons here in the north east u.s. at least PA
I enjoy your reviews. They are very helpful.
Love your adventures and reviews.
Excellent review Luke. You’re covered all bases.
Wow! a quilt... Love this review... thank you
Really interested in getting a couple of these . Like you I don’t want a hood . Read several reviews about the size of the head hole and overall length for taller people. Thanks for the review. Have a great evening
When you arrive on a video a year late & smile to catch Luke supplementing _his_ Trekology inflatapillow with the exact same Teton Sports compressible that you do. 😄
I have a complete camping system from onewind, the hammock, bug net, underquilt, tarp, it's in my opinion top quality gear at a budget friendly price point. I've been thoroughly impressed
This is an awesome alternative...great review, Luke! Definitely will add this to my gear list. Adding the Onewind quilt to the Swagman Roll should keep me warm and toasty on those temperature drop nights. This would be great to carry in the vehicle as an emergency blanket, too. I've been using the Snugpak Jungle Blanket or my old woobie lately to supplement the "Swag" but mostly to wrap my Thermarest mattress for additional insulation (increasing the R value). It's rare to find a quality product at a budget price.
I was thinking that between a woobie and this 'quilt' in a fall rating, you'd have combinations available to cover all but the coldest parts of winter at an unbeatable price.
Between the snugpak blanket, the swagman roll and the One wind blanket if you've had a chance to try it out which of the 3 do you prefer?
Just what I've been looking for. Thanks Luke
And it smells better than Buffalo hide! Lol
Another fantastic recommendation. Super comfortable . The wolf pack is costing me amazing purchases... you have not failed me yet. Did not think I would use as a poncho but find myself wrapped in the poncho at every bonfire and then comfortable in the tent as a quilt. Keep up the great reviews.
Thank you for sharing brother for sharing your thoughts and facts and truth about this item
I have really come to trust your judgment. Thank you for another honest review
Great video
I like this - I wonder if it could be used to increase a sleeping bag rating as it shouldn't restrict lofting of a current bag.
Ofcourse it would. I believe this to be geared towards over and under quilt, for hamuc camping, as well as a simple blanket or sleeping bag type wrap. There is also the poncho or coat style wrap. Either way it would work great for improving your bag temp rating plus.
How can this be used as a hammock underquilt? How would you attach it? That aspect was not covered.
Need need NEED!!!
Exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you. :-)
A quilt? Try Walmart! Lol
Will get one luke. Thank you. Stay safe my friend
I bought one. I love it. Very versatile. I mostly use it as a blanket / quilt. Great product!
Well I thought I was sold in the swagman, but now I’m not sure. One of the big things was looking at options for something as a summertime over quilt, and I’m liking the way this looks. Great review as usual, and gave me some great info to make an informed decision
What did you end up with an how do you rate it?
I think that absence of hood is deal breaker for me. Especially for winter usage.
I have one of their hammocks and their under quilt and they are both brilliant. Love your review and on the the strength of it...or almost on the strength of it I'm going to buy one. Great honest review. Just what I wanted to push me over the edge 👍 Cheers.
I am definately buying a couple of these, for hunting and home. The price is unbeatable.
The one wind is great, but it could be improved a lot by just adding a few loops or reinforced loop holes and straps to give you options for attaching it to a sleeping pad, closing the foot box, or turning it into a sleeping bag.
I don't like the snap buttons either, they don't feel sturdy and I am afraid to damage the fabric over time.
It is very smooth, so it has a tendency to slide off from you.
For the price, it is an awesome product though. I am going to put my wife to the sowing machine to add some stuff to it and fix the problems. A few simple modifications would turn it into a truly unbelievably good product.
Edit: started typing before the video was over lol
Another alternative : Honcho poncho from Therm a rest....
Like your reviews, very relevant ......thanks
Yet another very similar alternative is the naturehike insulated poncho. As far as I can tell it is very similar to the Thermarest one but much cheaper.
Luke,
Great review! Enjoyed the versatility that you demonstrated with this product. Definitely going to give it a serious consideration. Maybe, you could compare this with the regular poncho liner and the Helikon text in a side-by-side review? Looking forward to more awesome content. :)
Bet you are loving the Delta Storm now...?? Hope no bad floods!
Another winner and well explained by Luke why it is just that. Most of us simply can't afford the best, which makes great values like this so sweet!
Just cos it's expensive doesn't make it the best half the time dude. Certainly pays to shop around :)
Sounds like a banger! You could definitely bring this as an extra or replace you quilt and puffy jacket with it. I'm ok than it doesn't have a hood, I prefer a beanie. I'm looking at getting a nice wool one this year finally.
Thank you for this informative video.
Your temperature conversions are off. 40f = 4.4c and 60f = 15.5c Other than that, great review. Cheers from Winnipeg.
good review, strength and honor
Greetings from England 🏴
Would the fall version be a smarter buy?
I just got mine today, and wow its smooth. i like it. im in europe (DENMARK) and i didnt pay shipping, obviously thay have an offer on rigth no, with no shipping fee. Thank you Luke. goooooood tip!
Peace from Malaysia🇲🇾
Seems like a really good alternative, without a hood is not a huge deal as i can wear a cap. Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Luke👍👍 Great review. Just wish more products like this and in general were made in the US. Looks like a very adaptable product for three season use. For me, a blanket over a bag and a wrap when hanging out in camp. As with anything, YMMV. Thanks for the video, well done. Enjoy!
Great review ..was looking for something like this but my gear budget is low..this seems like great performance at a price I can afford
I would love to see a update to this video . Perhaps personal customization of this product such as the loops to be able to attach it to your sleeping pad and etc. I think with your honest review you could do a customization videos to show ways of making the products better customized to suit the owner
All their products seem very good. The couple that I have are awesome. Remember that these items are made mainly for hammok camping.
..good info. and review. could save a dollar or two..stay safe and enjoy..
Love your work
This quilt works in conjunction with the under quilt. You can clip to the under quilt for extra insulation for your butt or turn it into a giant sleeping bag to cocoon you into your hammock. Remember this is part of a sleeping system with hammocks in mind. In short this is an awesome product. Onewind rule!!
I hope that you can do a review of the Onetigris top quilt.
He does review onetigrus equipment so I'm sure he will get around to it.
Instead of putting grommets in it, you can use tarp clamps.
Adding a new comment: mine arrived super fast from Amazon. Not heavy, or stiff at or and almost total coverage for a 5"1 female. I'm hoping to test it this week, but feel confident I'm going to be pleased with it. My only 'issue' right now is how am I ever going to fit it back into that stuff back? Best recommendation ever, thank you!
Hello, I don’t suppose you could day what size you ordered? I am the same size as you and would like it to go over my head when used in a hammock with feet in footbed. Sorry I know you posted this three years ago! 😊
Well thats pretty neat. Its a super woobie
Like the quilt and very versatile.
Cool! Thank you for the review. Will have to give it try.
Its like a super woobie!
I love my swagman roll you don't need a storage bag just pack it in the pocket on the front and its fairly compact and it's a pillow too
Hill People Gear Mountain Serape
For me, I always wear a beanie in cooler weather anyway, so the lack of a hood is a pro rather than a con. I'll have to check the specs, but comparing this video to your review of the Swagman Roll, this quilt appears to pack down smaller - another pro. And of course the price is right. I was planning on modifying my Snugpak Jungle Bag, but for $60, I'll have to give the Onewind Quilt a try.
Love the review. :)
Luke, quick question...If someone had no intention of using this as a poncho, is it still one of the best options for a quilt under $100 or are there better quilt options in this price point?
I was thinking the same thing
Luke you rock buddy! Great review. Been holding off on the Swagman Roll because of the price. I don't like hoods and I am too wide to use the sleeping bag feature. Looking forward to getting mine. How about attachment to a poncho?
Chris- I'm a big guy too, and ended up getting the Hill People Gear Mountain Serape. It's wide and long enough, has a half zip footbox and a drawstring hood with a front zip for entry/ventilation.
@@nicholasromano1422 Good to know brother! Thanks!
Never heard of this company either. This is a really nice, budget friendly quilt. Cool!
Thanks Luke, alpha wolf, for this great review!
Great find. This looks nice. I've wanted a swagman roll, but since I only very occasionally have use for it, I've balked at the price. This is around half the price, so I'm probably going to go for it.
형 진짜 최고야 진짜 너무 고마워 앞으로도 파이팅해 형
Awesome review,
Onewind has a fantastic hammock system at a super price
Never use compression bags, never roll up - just stuffing inside the ruck - save time and weight. I need the fall version
I suspect using both at the same time would allow you to really push the temps down.
Thank you for the review Luke.
Corporals Corner uses the swagman roll with the hood in his adventures at times.
Now the fall bag is rated 35-50 and similarly less on the summer version
I'm getting both I want the helikon as a poncho mainly this looks and price wise is better than the woobie
60 bucks compared to 150 ish for the swagman roll and they do almost the same thing ya ill go with the onewind and use that and if it gets colder at nights have a jungle blanket or wobbie to add to it. this is a great video and recommendation
I got on e last year i also bought the matching under quilt for hammock camping and iI love it in lower temps i use sweat paints and sweat shirt and I have stayed out in low 40s in my Hammock and just a tarp cover.
