KATABATIC GEAR Palisade 30°F / °C is by far the lightest and warmest season sleeping quilt on the market. It weighs 524 grams (Regular size) so it is incredibly light and it packs down really small (14cm x 25cm) which is absolutely perfect for thruhikers needs, because it will fit in a really small backpack, it’s ultralightweight so you will have a lot less weight on your back and it’s going to take up less room in your backpack.
Katabatic use seriously high quality, lightweight materials as well as ethically sourced goose down.
All Katabatic quilts feature shaped foot box, down filled collar and their patented Cord Clip attachment system, which is the best design on the market for preventing drafts. They are just a few of the features that separate them from the competition. The beauty of this design is its simplicity. Cord Clip attachment system comes with 2mm cord for attaching the sleeping bag to the pad. You have to simply tie the cords around the pad, and attach your bag.
Another really cool feature is that the baffles are filled with less down at the top around your torso and more down in the foot box keeping your feet warm. That is because your torso gives off more heat so you need less down there.
Palisade comes with a little tiny stuff sack and very large Katabatic Gear branded storage sack prefect for storing the sleeping quilt between hikes for a long period of time, removable webbing straps for attaching it to the sleeping mattress.
This is one of the most expensive down sleeping quilts you can buy on the market nowadays, but we think is it worth the money to invest in a high quality from Katabatic which you will be using for a very, very long time. Bottom line is you get what you pay for 100%.
