Sewn-in footbox? Lightweight? This short guide will help you make the right choice!

Our quilts cater to a wide range of sleepers, making your decision easier. While each variant is unique, the differences can be subtle. Most variations involve the zips, footbox, and baffle designs. Whether you’re seeking the lightest possible quilt or a versatile hybrid, these options will meet your needs.

Enlightened Equipment Revelation

"The Original - The Classic!"

The Revelation is our bestselling quilt and a favourite among long-distance hikers. On warm nights, it can be fully opened like a blanket, giving you the flexibility to kick out a leg or reposition your arms. On colder nights, simply zip up the ¼ length zipper and use the drawcords to cinch the footbox closed. This keeps out drafts and ensures your feet stay toasty warm.

Best for: active sleepers who need a quilt that can handle a wide range of temperatures.

Key Features: Adjustable footbox & ¼ length zipper

Weight: A 20° Regular/Regular 850FP weighs 639g 

Enlightened Equipment Enigma

The Enigma is our lightest quilt, designed for ultralight warmth with its minimalist features. It has a sewn-closed footbox and no zippers, offering a bit more structure compared to the Revelation.

Best for: gram counters and those with cold feet!

Key Features: Sewn closed footbox & no zipper

Weight: A 20° Regular/Regular 850FP weighs 600g
