Thanks for the review. I own the 20 degree long wide Vesper quilt and love it! I am 6' 5" and weight 270 lbs and I am so happy I got it. I move a lot while I sleep and I no longer get all tangled up.
-
Thanks for the review, I've been eyeing both of these so it's nice to get a breakdown.
-
I have just recently bought the UGQ 20 degree Bandit quilt . I have been working so much overtime so I haven’t been able to try it out. I’m excited to try it out
-
Totally agree with you assessment, also absolutely love the breakdown and comparison of products, as some one who is trying to pickout gear it helps tremendously
-
Been waiting patiently on my UGQ for about a month now. Can't wait!
-
Thanks for your videos. You convinced me to go Cottage over mass produced in an instant. And now I'm swaying toward UGQ. But would love to see comparison of UGQ vs Enlightened Equipment vs Hammock Gear. Thanks again for all your videos.
-
This guy is a life savor thank you so much!!!! Subbed
-
Thank you. Great effort.
-
Been using a Nemo pad and aliexpress windhard down quilt since 2015 down to about 30 degrees staying warm. I sleep pretty warm in a bivy hybrid which holds heat. Would recommend.
-
I have the older Thermarest Alpine Blanket 35 F with 700 fill down, which is made in China. I got it on sale at REI. I think that's one of a advanages with mass production products, if you wait long enough it will go on sale.
-
I love my ugq quilt. We purchased the zero degree with most of the bells and whistles. We’ve used it all summer in temps 30-40 degrees and was able to still not be too hot. I love the flexibility.
-
Very good assessment of the differences! I went ahead and plunked down a wad of cash for the Thermarest Vesper 20. It is a bit different than the one you showed. It is ridiculously lightweight, packs down to the size of a Nalgene bottle, yet toasty warm - especially if coupled with their X-therm mattress. I'm not sure there will ever be a quilt for everyone. That is one of the nice things about this type of sleep system; they are highly configurable for how you sleep. I think people will be forever tweaking details depending upon their likes.
-
I bought one after watching this video. Can't wait to get it.
-
I’m really interested in giving a quilt a try. Just haven’t been willing to spend the money yet.
-
Very informative! Cheers! Not much options in the Netherlands unfortunately....
-
Personally, as a newbie, I'm very intrigued by the Zenbivy bed concept. Even if i get another brand quilt, I'm tempted to make my own pad sheet with attached hood. Seems like a great idea. The Corus quilt seems like it is in the middle design-wise between the Zenbivy and the UGQ quilt.
-
Man after watching this I really have the urge to get another quilt! Time to sell some gear to make way for one.
-
UGQ w/o a doubt. The down in the UGQ is responsibly sourced. I doubt the the thermarest is. You can order a non-tapered UGQ and you’ll have plenty of foot room and it’ll be warmer.
-
What pad are you using in this video. Great comparison also. I do have a UGQ and love it.
-
Interesting comparison Devin. Where is the Thermarest quilt manufactured? That's always a consideration for me. I have an older UGQ that's fine, but lacks some of their newer features.
