Katabatic Flex Quilt
Best versatile sleep system for weight conscious backpackers seeking premium warmth
This is the gold standard for ultralight hikers who refuse to sacrifice warmth for weight. By ditching the restrictive hood and zipper of a traditional bag, you gain incredible freedom of movement and versatility, though you will need to get comfortable with a slightly more involved pad-attachment setup to keep the drafts at bay.
