I've heard great reviews about Katabatic quilts!? One complaint of some quilt brands I've heard is the shifting of the down stuffing resulting in cold spots.? The Katabatic Flex has the option of

I'm a rotisserie sleeper and have always felt restricted and even claustrophobic in sleeping bags. My Katabatic Gear quilt is a godsend. It has the usual cord system for use with a sleeping pad and it

I have both a quilt and a sleeping bag. Several bags, actually. The main advantage of the quilt is that it's lighter. The secondary advantage is that it is less confining. The main disadvantage is

I find it very interesting that this discussion here has confirmed the survey finding that most people who have quilts are quite happy with them. It's always nice to get a discussion going that either

Yes.? Kennedy Meadows.

Thinking about starting at Kennedy Meadows and exiting at Reds or Tuolumne. ?Anyone know what permits would be required?

I tried the Mayfly's last year NOBO. ?I left them behind at MTR for two reasons. ?They were too minimal for me. ?Perhaps enough if you just want to shuffle around camp. ?But if you need to walk

Shamma sandals. My size 11 M weight 5.9oz for the pair. I would choose these over many others. Especially after they break in and get foot shaped. They are not perfect but for summer hiking in the

I have a 10 degree REI Magma sleeping bag which I used for my first JMT, then I switched to the quilt when I wanted to go lighter. I find the quit to be warmer than the bag, which gives some credence

Let me clarify. I loved my quilt but would look for better low temp rating one. When my 30f mummy bag gets condensation I stay warm and dry. My 30f quilt did not do the same. I got cold and it did not

I have found ultralight running shoes good for crossings, camp. They are light enuf to wear inside my sleeping bag which makes it easier to get out of bed fast in order to pee in the middle of the

Both my zPacks bag and my EE quilt lacks a hood which actually is something I prefer. On my old sleeping bag, which had a hood, I found it constraining and prefer using a warm cap that moves freely
