Enlightened Equipment Revelation
Enlightened Equipment · Mid to upper · Lighter than a comparable bag
An open-back quilt that only works with a real pad and the discipline to keep it closed.
As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure
A quilt is not a cheaper bag. The Revelation is the common custom quilt people finish hikes in, because it vents on mild nights and does not bind the knees. It has no hood. If you sleep cold or kick covers off at home, buy a mummy. Use the straps.
Who should buy it. Side sleepers who already own a pad with enough R-value.
Best for. Warm sleepers and side sleepers who hate mummies
Standout limitation. Drafts if the pad straps are ignored
