Pulse™ Endless Promise® Ultralight Backpacking Quilt

First night out I kept waiting to feel the cold spots my old bag always had, but this quilt stayed snug through a 38-degree night and packs down ridiculously small in my pack. The lack of a hood took a little getting used to, but the footbox cinched just right and saved me a solid half-pound.

Took this on a three-day stretch of the Appalachian Trail and the draft-proof footbox kept me warm down to about 40°F without any cold spots. The quilt’s cut lets me move freely at night, which I can’t do in a mummy bag, and it packs down shockingly small in my pack. Worth the switch if you’re chasi

It’s noticeably lighter than any mummy bag I’ve hauled before, which makes the extra care with the draft hood totally worth it. The quilt coverage stays put through a restless night, and I slept warm down to the mid-40s without fussing.
