Description

Nanolite Quilt: The Ultimate Ultralight Backpacking Companion

Are you tired of lugging around a heavy sleeping bag on your summer backpacking trips? Say goodbye to unnecessary weight and bulk with the Nanolite 38 Quilt. Designed by Western Mountaineering, this incredible quilt is specifically crafted for adventurous hikers and ultralight enthusiasts.

Unlike traditional sleeping bags, the Nanolite quilt eliminates insulation on the bottom. The logic is simple - when you lie down, the down becomes compressed and doesn't provide effective insulation anyway. Instead, this quilt takes advantage of your inflatable sleeping pad to keep you warm. By ditching excess insulation and zippers, it significantly reduces both weight and bulkiness.

Worrying about your pad slipping out from under you? Don't. The Nanolite features a secure attachment system that easily connects to any mummy-shaped sleeping pad, ensuring a comfortable and cozy night's sleep.

Side sleepers and restless campers, rejoice! This quilt offers extra room in the top and hips, catering to all body types. And to address the common issue of heat loss in other quilts, the Nanolite includes a top collar that wraps around your shoulders, effectively trapping core heat. As a bonus, this lightweight wonder weighs under a pound and packs down to the size of your water bottle, making it a perfect choice for your summer backpacking adventures.

Key Features:

  • Ultralight and low-bulk quilt designed for backpacking
  • Integrates seamlessly with any mummy sleeping pad for maximum efficiency
  • Exceptionally light, warm, and compressible with 850+ fill down
  • Top collar drapes around shoulders, locking in valuable heat
  • Optimal design for all body types, including side sleepers
  • Simple bottom closure from shoulder to foot for hassle-free use
  • Packs down to roughly the size of a 32oz water bottle for easy carrying
  • Featherlight 12D fabric ensures durability and comfort
