Summer Quilt
Best ultralight sleep system for dedicated long distance backpackers.
This is the ultimate minimalist solution for warm-weather nights, stripping away the bulk of a traditional bag while keeping you cozy. It sacrifices the full-body enclosure of a mummy bag for incredible packability and versatility, making it a brilliant modular layer for extending your sleep system into colder seasons.
