Flex 15°F Quilt

Yes for Katabatic quilts! I get a lot of use out of my flex quilt 15 degree with overfill. I love zipping the bottom part to a mummy and leaving the top loose like a blanket. I’ve used it 20-50F overnight temps.

When I did the Salkantay at the end of May a few years ago I brought my 15 degree Katabatic quilt and was never cold sleeping. Might have slept in my down jacket one night that I can recall Edit: also did the Huayhuash which was higher/colder and also slept fine with the same setup

Yes! 100% worth it. I love my Katabatic Flex 15 - I got wide and 850FP down. I’ve taken it in the snow down to the limit and been super cozy. If I could do it again, I’d probably get the 22. I was worried about the temp rating being inaccurate or generous, but I haven’t found that to be the case at all. The only time I’ve ever been cold is when I’ve under planned on my pad and gone with one with too little insulation / too low r rating.

I love my Katabatic Flex. It's worth the $$. Thanks for the update and I love that you're enjoying the trail.

Katabatic Flex FTW! I've slept comfortable from 50f down to 7f with the same quilt

As others have said, the Katabatic is the choice. However the Katabatic is comfort rated, so an EE 20 is like a 30 deg Palisade. I am not familiar with PCT temps but you may be able to get away with a Palisade. I sleep warm to 20 on a CCF pad.

I love my Katabatic quilt. Extremely light, can open up and breath in warmer hunts and definitely warm enough sub-freezing when buttoned up. Been using it for 5 years on Colorado hunts, all kinds of conditions.

There isn’t really an absolute best, but I like Katabatic for a quilt and western mountaineering or feathered friends for a bag. I prefer quilts down to around the low 20s, bags below that. Having a pocket in your quilt for a sleeping pad seems silly to me.

I love my Katabatic quilt!

Numeri 1 - Western mountaineering - Feathered friends Li tocchi con mano e capisci subito di che pasta son fatti. Subito dopo metterei Katabatic, pieno di accessori e features utili. Poi ce ne sono tanti altri sotto molto buoni. In EU trovi piu facilmente Cumulus, fatti veramente bene. E poi ci alcuni piu piccoli che fanno roba custom made molto buoni. Ma c'è un abisso tra tutti questi e i classici commerciali e costano giusto qualche euro in piu o a volte in meno. 100-150€ per una roba che ti deve tenere caldo, essere leggero, compatto e deve durarti anni e anni, mi sembra un investimento molto piccolo. Ci prendi giusto qualche taroccata decathlon o ferrino. Io mi farei regalare lo zaino, il sacco a pelo è molto personale. Se poi dormi a pancia in giù o laterale devi prendere un quilt, col sacco non dormi.
