Does anybody have 1st hand experience with these sleeping bags? The weight, price, comfort, and apparent good quality intrigue me. http://www.enlightenedequipment.com/revelation/

They are in Minnesota and it is American made......From reading online reviews they seem like pretty bomb bags.

I'm happy with my 40 degree Revelation quilt from Enlightened Equipment. Works well for summer in the Cascades at 5000'. Slightly under a pound.

I have a 20° enigma quilt. I think it weighs about 18oz. Love it. Good for 3 seasons and I'm a cold sleeper. I highly recommend a quilt, especially if you are a side sleeper - way more comfortable!

That might be a bag I would try. I like the size customization. I'd probably go for the widest bag since I move around so much sleeping in the wilderness and sleep on my side.

Wait, there is a 6am?!?!

My bud has a EE quilt. Well made, good stitching, smart design, nice baffle strategy, good price. It'd be nice if EE offered an ePTFE outer fabric option.

How does he like the foot box? Seems like it would be the coldest part of the bag to me.

Very interesting, thanks for the link. Steve, does your friend think his quilt's temp rating is accurate? Also curious if the regular fits similar to conventional bags re: shoulder and body width. Anyone have first-hand experience with HyperDry down or reliable second-hand word? Details?

He has a 20° rated quilt. Never heard him complain. Loft seems right for the rating. A closed differential cut footbox is warmer but the EE drawstring footbox seems fine for a 3-season quilt. He and I once owned FF Rock Wrens so we have experience with drawstring footboxes.

Last year I only used an EE 50 degree quilt. This year I'll be using a 40 degree synthetic EE quilt. Good stuff.

Used my new bag numerous times now and I am super impressed. I will be buying another for my daughter.....Super light, warm (-6C) and comfy.

I just spent about 30' going through their very well designed and detailed web site. I tend to be a "tosser and turner" and hate having to twist around in the confines of my current bag, so these quilts look very appealing. I also like how they give you numerous options for width, length, type of down, 6 different temperature ratings, thickness of the nylon, type of down and more.

I went with a 40F Enigma with 800 GDD. Can't really beat it at $205 and around 13 ounces. It kept me warm on a 45F-ish overnight at Goat Lake 2 weeks ago.
