Hey Roksliders, I met Tim Marshall from Enlightened Equipment just a few weeks ago. Tim designs and builds a quilt sleeping system for ultra-light backpackers. He's made quite the impact in that market and we thought Rokslide would be a perfect fit as we have lots of gram/ounce counters.
If you're thinking "quilt? grandma?" like I was, you're wrong. A "quilt" from Enlightened Equipment functions like a sleeping bag, but takes advantage of the surface area of your ground padding. This means you can drop about half the total weight compared to a traditional bag.
For example, Tim's Enigma 0 degree quilt comes in at just over 21 ozs in a regular while many bags of the same rating tip the scale at 40 or more ounces.
Plus if you just can't get comfortable in a bag, a quilt is a great solution.

Enlightened Equipment has the feel of a small town business, but a product that rivals the big dogs.
