Revelation Sleeping Quilt

We have two EE 10F quilts; one is a double (Accomplice), the other is a Revelation for when one of us goes solo. Been very happy with them. We've been down into maybe around 20F in them and were fine, but you're going to want some decent head warmth like a down hoodie or an add-on sleep hood like their Torrid hood. I'm a side-sleeper and roll around a lot. I typically put a ZLite on top of my air pad for extra warmth and improved sleep profile, and use the EE pad straps to keep it in place. I don't usually use the quilt clips to secure the sides of the quilt unless it's really cold. We've had our Accomplice for at least seven years now and it continues to perform well. Only had to wash it once so far (which is actually a pretty lengthy process to do it right).

Same -- two EE quilts; a double for when wife and I go together, single when we're on solo adventures. Been a good purchase for us.

I have both an EE Revelation 20F and EE Revelation Apex 20F. The synthetic (Apex) takes up noticeably more room in my pack. But I don't really notice the minimal weight difference. Only time I take the synthetic is when I am heading out to the coast since it is always moist air there - day in and day out. Down just doesn't keep you as warm under those conditions. For trips where there might be rain I don't really consider taking the synthetic. I can be pretty cautious about unpacking the down quilt from my pack without exposing it directly to the rain. If it is going to be raining the entire time then I'll take synthetic because it is pretty much the same as being on the coast. Another thing I've found helpful is, if you can find a very thin fleece blanket to lay over your down quilt when you know you are going to face condensation that might end up soaking your quilt it really can help with moisture management. I have one that is just barely big enough to cover my quilt and is about 100 weight (gsm?) synthetic fleece. It catches the condensation from rubbing your quilt on the tent walls or it dripping on your quilt. And the synthetic does a great job at causing it to evaporate. The combination of the down quilt + the fleece still weight less than an apex quilt alone. And I only take it when I know there will be condensation.

Jeez!! For the cost of the disco, you could get a Enlightened Equipment Revelation Down Quilt for almost the same price and use that for years to come. They are on sale now: [https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation-sleeping-quilt/?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=ppc&utm\_campaign=bp-competitor&utm\_content=&utm\_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=21046587331&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ\_qlG7aslkMdpIj3yBTZSRgbb&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWS08tM45BWVyuVTznUvETkL4IAIfNiinKu0Z99bFpLLZqmzUluLNjxoClZ8QAvD\_BwE](https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation-sleeping-quilt/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=bp-competitor&utm_content=&utm_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21046587331&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ_qlG7aslkMdpIj3yBTZSRgbb&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWS08tM45BWVyuVTznUvETkL4IAIfNiinKu0Z99bFpLLZqmzUluLNjxoClZ8QAvD_BwE) I have four of them two synthetic, two down for different purposes and don't ever feel like I need to buy a $900 Feathered Friends quilt. EDIT: for your temps (I saw in your reply to another comment) go with a 20F quilt. EDIT #2: also get one down quilt or bag for your most likely temps. Then get a cheaper synthetic one (like the Revelation Apex) later for when you are going to be in warmer temps. I'd go with 50F. The secret to this setup is that when it is going to be really cold you can layer the 50F synthetic on top of the 20F down and it will be very warm and will manage moisture better. This is what I do now. I actually ended up giving my 0F and 15F down sleeping bags to my son because I just don't use them. See this article on layering quilts it even has a chart that show the effective rating when layering different temp rated quilts: [https://support.enlightenedequipment.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002770588-How-to-layer-quilts-for-sub-zero-camping?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=ppc&utm\_campaign=bp-performance-max&utm\_content=&utm\_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=21496859184&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ\_qRsFxJ09dZ0STXvgtbFCdIq&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWea7SwIxtOseSUudWDwoakqQmHjDXbKwJCmGc4MwWy6RVSzCGNnDchoC1-sQAvD\_BwE](https://support.enlightenedequipment.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002770588-How-to-layer-quilts-for-sub-zero-camping?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=bp-performance-max&utm_content=&utm_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21496859184&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ_qRsFxJ09dZ0STXvgtbFCdIq&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWea7SwIxtOseSUudWDwoakqQmHjDXbKwJCmGc4MwWy6RVSzCGNnDchoC1-sQAvD_BwE)

I have an EE Revelation 850 & an EE Enigma 950. Both 20°, 10D inner and outer. I haven’t had any problems with drafts or down leakage in either but the 850 fill is significantly warmer and doesn’t have issues with down migrating. I will soon be selling the 950 because it just isn’t warm enough.

EE has a children’s size that’s all the same materials and same options. I have one for my kiddo and it maxes out at 5’ tall. Would be perfect for your height.

I said children’s bag but it looks like I actually just bought the revelation in extra short rather than a children’s version. I got a 10 degree and I think the lowest my kiddo has used it is around 40 degrees.

Cold sleep problems aren't always the bag, it's usually the pad. Your Nemo Tensor has an R-value around 4, which is good for maybe 25-30°F. Below that you're losing heat to the ground fast. Try adding a thin closed-cell foam pad underneath, like a 2mm GG thinlight. That alone made me stop shivering in my 20° quilt in Colorado.
