Enlightened Equipment Revelation 20 Quilt ($429.00)
Introduction
In this review, I’ll be sharing my experience with the Enlightened Equipment Revelation Quilt, a piece of gear I’ve relied on throughout this season. As someone who prioritizes lightweight, versatile equipment for outdoor adventures, this quilt has been an integral part of my setup. From its performance in different weather conditions to the little details that stood out, I’ll cover all aspects of how it has worked for me in the field.
Pros
Lightweight: Quilt weighs only 596g (1.31 lbs), and with the stuff sack and pad straps, the total comes to just 630g (1.39 lbs).
Versatile temperature control: The drawstring footbox allows for venting in warmer weather, while the draft collar and adjustable pad straps keep out drafts in colder conditions.
Great loft and warmth-to-weight ratio: 950fp Grey Goose Down provides excellent insulation without adding bulk.
Highly adjustable: Footbox and neck closure allow for fine-tuning of warmth.
Ethically sourced down: Uses RDS-certified goose down, ensuring humane treatment of animals.
Compact and easy to pack: Compresses well into a Silnylon stuff sack for easy carrying.
Cons
Footbox hole: The drawstring closure leaves a small hole, reducing warmth without additional insulation.
Delicate shell material: The 10D fabric is thin, and occasionally down pokes through.
Cold feet: Footbox design doesn't always keep feet warm, especially without additional layers like down booties.
