Sewn in footbox? Lightweight? Well this short guide will help you make that right choice!

In order to accommodate a wide range of sleepers, these quilts differ enough to make your decision easy. Each of the variants are unique but the differences may remain subtle. Most of the variations are with the zips, footbox and baffle designs. Whether you're looking for the lightest possible quilt or a versatile hybrid these options will tick the boxes for you.

Revelation
The Original. The Classic

The Revelation is the bestselling quilt and a favourite of long distance hikers. On warm nights, It can lay completely open like a blanket, allowing you the ability to kick out a leg or reposition or your arms. On cold nights, zip up the ¼ length zipper and use the drawcords to cinch close the footbox. This keeps out drafts, and ensures that your feet stay toasty warm!
