Part blanket, part sleeping bag, all cozy, the Nitro Quilt brings the best of both worlds together in this backcountry marriage of features. With an integrated hood plus hand/arm pocket, you can seal in warmth and still have room to move around.
We carry the Sierra Designs Nitro in two different temperature ratings - 20" and 35"F. Note that your body's actual response to lower temperatures may vary from the assigned rating level - that is, you could be cold or hot at 35' in a sleeping bag with a 35' rating, depending on many variables. See
more about sleeping gear ratings and how to get a good night's sleep in the backcountry.
If you have never slept in a camping quilt before, it takes a little getting used to but we've successfully converted a lot of campers over the years to what we consider a much better option over traditional sleeping bags. Lighter weight, smaller size, more freedom of movement, and better for side sleeping are just a few advantages. About the only downside would be in really cold temperatures - down below 20F for example - where you'd be better off in a more sealed up sleeping bag.
Both quilts feature:
- 800 Fill Power Fluro-carbon free DriDown & 15d nylon ripstop fabrics for an ultralight weight quilt
- Oversized design and larger size for more coverage and more comfort
- Full-length, insulated hand/arm pockets help to seal out drafts and seal in warmth
- Hide-away hood provides insulation for your head when temps drop
- EN Rating gives you tested and proven performance
