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.
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
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.
