Enlightened Equipment Revelation Apex Quilt

The primary advantage is performance in damp environments. While down loses its ability to insulate when wet, the CLIMASHIELD APEX synthetic insulation retains warmth even in humid or rainy conditions and dries significantly faster, making it a reliable choice for unpredictable weather.

The quilt includes a dedicated strap system that secures the edges of the quilt to your sleeping pad. This prevents cold air from drafting underneath you when you move during the night, effectively sealing the quilt around your body.

The Revelation Apex is rated for temperatures between 20°F and 50°F. While you can extend the range by wearing extra layers, it is not designed for sub-freezing temperatures and you should choose a higher-rated bag if you expect colder conditions.

The footbox uses a combination of a zipper and a shock cord, allowing you to fully close it for maximum warmth or open it up like a flat blanket on warmer nights. This versatility makes it much more adaptable than a traditional sewn-shut sleeping bag.

Because the quilt lacks a hood, you will need to pair it with a warm beanie or a hooded jacket if you are camping in cooler temperatures. This design choice is intentional, as it saves significant weight and allows you to use your existing headwear.

The 10D nylon is chosen specifically to keep the quilt ultralight and packable. While it is durable enough for standard backpacking use, you should handle it with reasonable care to avoid snagging the thin fabric on sharp rocks or thorns.
