Discount Sale KATABATIC GEAR Sawatch 15°F / -9°C

KATABATIC GEAR Sawatch 15°F / °C  is a backpacking quilt which is ideal as a threeseason quilt for cold sleepers, or a winter bag in milder climates. It packs some serious warmth in an incredibly light package.

All Katabatic quilts feature shaped foot box, down filled collar and their patented Cord Clip attachment system, which is the 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.

“With the sensual fabric feel (yeah, I went there) and the Cord Clip system stabilization, I can hit the sack naked, tossing and turning all night, and the quilt will remain in place, untangled, comfortably caressing my sleeping self.”

Like most quilt style bags Katabatic removed the fabric and insulation from the bottom increasing its versatility. It can act as a blanket on a warm night or it can be snugged down and enclose your body like a mummy to block out drafts. Unique attachment system keeps your sleeping bag on top of your pad where it belongs.
The cord clips allow for maximum versatility and temperature control. Elastic binding around the bottom opening prevents gaps and drafts at the sleeping pad. Katabatic also include effective webbing strap closures for those of you going without a sleeping pad (watch attachment system video for more details).

Elite sleeping bags feature a substantial differential cut with the shell fabric cut wider than the liner.

The horizontal baffles are continuous from one side of the bag to the other. The goose down won’t migrate tossing and turning but still allows you to redistribute the down with your hands for various conditions. The overstuffed down collar is like a builtin scarf so you’ll have a cozy draft seal instead of an awkward drawstring at the neck. Trapezoidal foot box fits great no matter what position you were lying in while the overstuffed baffles provide the extra warmth.

Katabatic used the best raw materials Pertex Quantum line fabrics for increased strength and water resistance with industry leading DWR Premium goose down provides the most effective warmth to weight ratio which is ethically sourced and RDS certified. 
The RDS ensures that down and feathers come from ducks and geese that have been treated humanely. This means enabling them to live healthy lives, express innate behaviors, and not suffer from pain, fear, or distress.

In conjunction with highly waterresistant shell materials, HyperDRY™ provides extra peace of mind, and dries faster than untreated down if it does get wet.
