Free Delivery KATABATIC GEAR Alsek 22°F / -5.5°C

KATABATIC GEAR Alsek  22°F / .5°C is very light, very warm, comfortable and functional quilt with temperature ratings somewhere in the middle of Palisade and Sawatch. 

Katabatic Gear is wellknown for their conservative temperature ratings, meaning that their quilts consistently perform at or even below the stated lower limit, so in reality, the Alsek is more like a  °C to °C ( 22°F to 17°F). Their realistic temperature ratings may have several reasons: above industrystandard baffle fill/volume, the differential cut in each baffle to help avoid cold spots, their unique system for attaching the quilt to a sleeping pad, that actually works to seal in heat and reduce drafts.

It weighs 630 grams (Regular size, 900FP) so it is incredibly light and it packs down really small (15cm x 30cm) and take up less room in your backpack which is absolutely perfect for most long distance hikers.

It’s also versatile — you can cover up like a quilt when it’s warm, draw it in a bit when it’s cooler, and snug it up for colder conditions. 

All katabatic quilts are made of top quality materials and have a lot of effective features: differential cut, overstuffed neck baffle, roomy sewn in foot box, unique pad attachment system, and their attention to detail, that makes them really stand out amongst the competition.

900 Fill Power Premium Goose Down produced in the U.S. (Allied Feather and Down) with HyperDRY™ waterresistant treatment to make it hydrophobic.
This down has been treated to provide additional resistance to unwanted moisture. In conjunction with highly waterresistant shell materials, HyperDRY™ provides extra peace of mind, and dries faster than untreated down if it does get wet. Is this a miracle waterproofing that will allow you to sleep out in the rain or dunk your bag in water with wild abandon? No. Will it give you extra protection and help maintain loft in damp conditions? Absolutely! HyperDRY™ waterresistant down is bluesign® approved, so you can rest assured that it is safe for the environment and human health.
