I didn't PURCHASE mine, it was issued to me. It is a miliary modular sleeping set and it keeps me PLENTY warm. The patrol bag is rated to about 40 degrees, but it has an extreme cold weather liner that brings it down to about 20. Put the Gortex shell on it and it brings it down to -20 and put it on a closed cell foam pad and they say it's good to -40. I've never tested it that low, but I did try it in my hammock with just the sleep system (no foam pad) and i was good and warm at about 20 degrees. The down side (no pun intended) was the weight. The system weighs in at about 9.5 lbs.
first bag was synthetic made by North Face (way back in 1981). I think the insulation was called Polarguard. Did not like the way it draped over me (or rather did not drape!), didn't like its bulk, I believe it kept me warm, but I ended up selling it and bought a Feathered Friends down bag which I still have. But in the market now for either a quilt or a second 20-ish degree bag for my wife. (The bag she's using is too warm for her.)
My first sleeping bag was bought in 1967 and was a rectangular synthetic (qualofil). It was the bees knees at the time and I used it to get my Snowflake award in Scouting. The bag was stuffed with newspaper and kept me warm most of the time. Today’s standards far eclipse what I experienced back then both in terms of weight as well as warmth.
Sea to Summit Trek I. No it did not and I no longer have it. It was too narrow at the shoulders only allowing my arms to be in two positions and I move at night, causing the compressed down on the back of the bag to be exposed. Since then I purchased 2 quilts and a 20 degree Sierra Designs Backcountry Bed (hybrid bag/quilt). I'll never go back to regular mummy bags unless there isn't another option.
@@hindsfeetonhighplaces I still have my 3 piece set (and one from before the Army had those) but, like you said, it's pretty heavy, even the stuff sack. The patrol sack compresses down decently small for summer camping.
I switched to a quilt in the last year, and am loving it. UGQ Bandit 20deg. Seems to be 20 deg comfort rated. I’ve had it down to 30 a couple times, and it’s toasty at that temp. I need to get it out in the back yard when it’s in the 20s to see where the real limit is. It took a couple nights to learn to control the drafts, but now that I have that figured out, I much prefer it as someone who turns from one side to the other all night.
Since last year I start using quilt in hammock and ground. And I'm must say it's super comfortable and worm. When temperature is low i connect my 200grams 700cuin quilt whit 450grams 920cuin sleeping bag.
First bag? A 30 degree synthetic bag that I used for many years. Warm? Kinda. Light? Not so much. I recently purchased an Enlightened Equipment 20 degree quilt, my first. I was apprehensive about exactly the draft issues you mention in your review. My first overnight I was camped on snow and it got down below freezing. I was toasty warm even though I tend to sleep like I am wrestling alligators. I am 5'10" and I ordered the quilt in long/wide with draft collars. This meant I had plenty of room to toss and turn without lifting the quilt off the pad, and the draft collars sealed the foot box and around my neck to keep the heat where I needed it. Draft collars are overkill in warm weather, but on winter(ish) trips it can spell the difference between a good and a bad night's sleep. I certainly did not miss waking up twisted inside a sleeping bag trying to find the zipper....I love having room to move around without the bag wrapping around me. Wish I'd switched to quilts sooner!
Switched to quilts years back. One of the best things about a quilt is being able to modify it easily. Won’t mention the brand but a have quilt that I love for design/size/use comfort, but the temperature rating was way off. So instead of ditching it I added 2ozs of 900fill down which it had and it solved the problem and the quilt weighs 17+ ozs instead of 15+ozs. Easy sewing. Would have been much harder with a sleeping bag. Ps. Spilled down clean up can take days!
This video and the one on pads are some of the best on UA-cam. Appreciate the use of measurement, not just opinion. I've found that long tubes (head to knees) and horizontal (knees to footbox) work best in the bags and quilt I've made. I use 1 pound packable down quilts as the basis and add down and/or Climashield Apex insulation. One big difference vs traditional bags is that I put the zipper on the top, center. Makes the bag much more versatile as far as temperature management. One bag has a hood, one a big neck baffle and one neither. I've got a couple how to videos on my channel, Tom Loves DIY.
I liked your video, thank you for putting it all in. One thing that bothered me is your statement about quilt size -- quilt started as minimal version of sleeping bag, but then ability to cinch entire quilt was added, or extra baffles, and currently I don't see any significant difference (cutting the hood always saves space) between quilt and sleeping bag as the size is considered -- basically quilts became hoodless sleeping bags with opening on the back, not on the side. I hope sleeping bags will evolve too and we will see more with thicker fronts and thinner backs. And an idea for the next video -- comparison, synthetic vs. down, how much more size does it take when packed and unpacked. And how thermal ratings change when the both are wet.
My first sleeping bag was a Coleman something... it was rated for 50° and weighed like 3 or 4 lbs and took up half my backpack but it was nice for the once a year trips I did. Then a couple of years ago we decided to do 3 trips, two in the summer, one in the fall, and that bag still did well because, one, I'm such a warm sleeper, and, two, I was dressed up well. Except the last night and I was really, really cold. So I started searching and ended on a quilt and never looked back. I love my UGQ XL Bandit(30°).
My first bag was also a Coleman. I don’t remember any of the stats because my mother bought it for me back in the early 1970’s. I know I was still using it as a Boy Scout in the mid-1980’s camping out in the snow. I didn’t know what a sleeping pad was back then. Instead, we put down a thin blue tarp and then erected our WWII-era fabric tarp tents with a cast iron central post over the top of it. I don’t recall ever being cold at night though.
Excellent video, only thing I would add is some comment about keeping your head warm. Mummy bags have your head covered but with a quilt you need to add a separate down hood or hat of some kind. I have been using a Katabatic Gear quilt for the past four or five years. If the temp is going to drop below 40f (4.5c) I bring their down hood. I toss and turn a lot and find I like the freedom of movement a separate hood gives me, plus I can leave it behind on warmer hikes.
Great work. I just bought my first quilt and a good Nemo pad. I’m really digging it so far. There’s a learning curve with the quilt but it’s not steep. Your videos helped me make my purchase decisions
I'm going to buy my first quilt over the holidays for use next summer. I move around a lot at night and tend to unzip my sleeping bag and use it as a quilt anyways.
I bought a sea to summit spark 3 which has a comfort rating of -2C around 30 degrees F. Well, I camped last winter (cloudless, windless night, I’m guessing it was around 0 to -5C / 30-20F) thinking I would be toasty but I put on other clothes and puffy and I was still freezing. Bought a 15C bag liner hoping this will make a big difference but I haven’t used it yet unfortunately. Quilts seem great for someone like me who is a side sleeper so I will buy one at some stage. Maybe enlightened equipment 10F quilt
I have a bag that I did used on a 2 week through hike but I'm debating buying a quilt for a PCt through hike just have her pull the trigger yet. Honestly that quilt looks really nice it's near the top of my list
I prefer a sleeping bag, But with that being said I got Big Agnes and Anvil Horn (large and wide). There's no insulation on the bottom, it is one of their "system" bags and has the integrated mattress sleeve. Because of the size I have plenty of room because I toss and turn at night without having to worry about drafts 👍👍
Excellent overview that! I`ve come to the same conclusion that you have - quilts are great for warmer weather (I have various for different temp ratings) but for really cold conditions, I would opt for a sleeping bag because of the risk of drafts.
Nicely presented informative well reasoned discussion of some of the technical points behind the sleeping bag versus quilt decisions. Thank you for this video.
Very well done, I enjoyed your video. I have always been a bag user but recently I ordered a quilt. I haven't been able to use it seeing as its not here yet lol!! But I have high hopes for quilts.
I prefer a bag. I roll around way too much for a quilt. Even at home I’m constantly waking up cold because I’ve rolled over and lost my covers. That’s the same reason why I need a thick, wide sleeping pad.
Same here. I recently purchased a SI wide sleep pad (came in the mail today), I'm excited to test it out. Hopefully I'll stay on it 🤞. Now, your experience with the quilt, did your tossing kick it off? Or just make you colder at night? I'm asking cuz I was considering getting one, I was thinking I would have more room to flop around...
@@bukketkid2567 I'm not the one you asked, but I have spent a couple of nights out in my 20 degree quilt. I am a very active sleeper. The pad straps are the key. I positioned the clips a couple of inches inboard of the edges of the pad so the sides of the quilt sealed against the pad, and I use two of the "full wrap" straps with two clips so the quilt is anchored in two places. I had no problems with drafts, and plenty of room to move around. One night was cold (25F) and I ended up cinching the head end around my neck and snapping it closed. Stayed warm all night.
I am intrigued by the quilts but don't want to afford a quilt and another pad ( current pad not insulated and I have winter camped with it), so I bought another sleeping bag. Just came today! That being said, what I wonder about a quilt: does it matter if you are a side sleeper or move around a lot? And, is it any more difficult to get out of the quilt at night to use bathroom and then get back into the quilt again versus a sleeping bag? And yes, excellent video!
IMHO: the combination of quilt and mummy shaped pad is ideal because the tapered foot end can fit inside the foot box of the quilt, thus more imitative of blanket on bed mattress. About quilt straps that hold the straps to the pad, my impression is that one company makes quilts with elastic straps (enlightened equipment) which is more forgiving of body repositioning, and other companies that have a nonelastic strap which can feel restrictive when changing body position.
I am subscribed and should be receiving alerts for all vids you post, but am not. Not just you but other channels I am subscribed to as well. Just letting you know. Love your vids!
I've found there really isn't that much of a weight difference between ultra light sleeping bags and quilts.. like my sea to summit spark 4 large only weighs 26oz and an equivalent ultra light quilt will weigh in at 24ish. The bag is $500, quilt is $475.. I think the plus to quilts in my experience is there's lots of great full custom made to order quilts for cool color combos and you can easily use a lower temp rating quilt in warmer weather but it's harder to use a low temp rating bag in warm weather. Especially if you get the zip footbox quilt (although that adds weight).
guys, it's better to use a sleeping bag or a quilt for a tropical country like Indonesia. the temperature on the mountain doesn't get below 0°C. Can you suggest the ultralight brand?
Is it possible to test also wool and chasmire along with down and synthetic isolation? Wool is a little heavier but is doing very well with water and has antimicrobial properties, something very useful if you can't wash regularly you sleeping system.
Hi Paul! It would be great if you would do a review on the warmest women’s specific sleeping bags. I’ve been reading other reviews but I trust your research and thoughtful evaluation process.
1st bag: Suisse Sport mummy bag from Big 5 Sporting Goods. No, it did not keep me warm. Now: Kelty Cosmic Down 20. Love it for 3 season camping and recreational backpacking. Good value. Sometimes I feel cramped in a mummy bag. For that reason, I look forward to trying a quilt sometime in the future. Thanks for another great vid!

The only option is to carry additional head wear to insulate your head, and that adds a lot of unnecessary weight to your pack, but in a mummy sleeping bag the hood is there to insulate your head and it does that without additional weight. So, while the mummy sleeping bags are a bit more expensive, they are worth the extra cost for the added sleeping comfort they give over using a quilt.

- not only a male, but a fit, young male
- well fed
- no wind involved

Wool is a little heavier but is doing very well with water and has antimicrobial properties, something very useful if you can't wash regularly you sleeping system.
Which quilt is better as a side sleeper, vertical baffles vs horizontal deferential cut quilts?
I'm shopping for a quilt, but it has to fit my old and trusted bivy.

Can you please test Western Mountaineerin sleeping bags vs Enlighten quilts of same ratings.
Great channel.

"the down side to sleeping bags..." no pun intended 😂
Hi Paul!
It would be great if you would do a review on the warmest women’s specific sleeping bags. I’ve been reading other reviews but I trust your research and thoughtful evaluation process.
Yes please I'd also be interested.
lol! what a silly concept. that like asking for male-specific water bottles out female specific earplugs. or male specific dental floss.
