Katabatic Gear - Flex 22 Ultralight Quilt

It's worth it. I bought a Flex 22 duck down and every humid night it stank like wet animal. Drove me nuts and I sold it and went with Nunatak goose down. I think goose down is worth every penny more just for the lack of smell benefits.

I have a Katabatic Flex 22. It is my favorite piece of gear. Their pad attachment system is the best that I have seen. I sleep way better than I did when I used a sleeping bag.

Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends for a sleeping bag. Katabatic or Nunatak for a quilt. I have a Katabatic Flex 22. It is my favorite piece of gear.

I have a Katabatic Flex 22 that is pretty great, if I could only have two quilts I’d get a 20-30 degree quilt and a 40-ish synthetic overquilt for layering purposes. A 30F sleeping bag would roast me in the summer. I would look into synthetic quilts from Mountain Laurel Designs, Enlightened Equipment, or look into making your own.

I would HIGHLY recommend the Katabatic Flex 22 degree with 1 OZ overstuff. Preferably the 900 Fill. I have used it for 5000 miles of hiking and will say it by far is superior.

I use a Katabatic sleeping down quilt and it is SO much better than my mummy bag. If you use a quilt you need to make sure you have a good insulated pad as the quilt won't prevent heat escape to the ground. My Katabatic quilt has straps than can attach it to my pad and it has a zip up toe box for the cold nights. Most of the time I just sleep with it like a blanket, but when it is cold, I put on a hat, zip up the toe box, and attach my quilt to my pad and it works great. For comparison purposes, I do sleep hot.

I have the same one and I LOVE it.

Yes. Katabatic Flex 22. Never looked back.

I got a 22 degree quilt from katabatic gear about a month ago and I like it a lot so far! It's very small, light, and warm and I like the way it attaches to the sleeping pad. Our last trip it was rainy and froze overnight, and I was plenty warm. It replaced my synthetic nemo sleeping bag which was over two pounds (heavier than my tent) and a pain to pack. I picked katabatic because it seems like the fabric is a bit more durable than the enlightened equipment quilts (but slightly heavier), and also you don't have to pick out all the extras like draft collar, attachment method, etc.

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

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!
