Flex 40°F Quilt

I wouldn't suggest getting a #3 on a full zip quilt, as those things are both really prone to snagging, as well as having a tendency of ripping off the track/getting damaged when encountering a little abuse. The Flickr for example uses a #5 which is... better. I guess it all adds up if you're optimizing. A Flickr 40F comfort is 541 grams with 238 grams of 950 fill. Not apples to oranges, but since it was mentioned, the Katabatic Flex 40 is 504 grams with 272 grams of 900 fill. So the Katabatic has more fill ( tho 900 v 950) and weighs a little less -- and is cheaper by *$150*. I guess is it worth it to you? Both are excellent sleep pieces, dunno if you'd go wrong with either.

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!
