lightweight synthetic quilts?

[blw2]

Point me to some good makers of synthetic quilts....

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new quilt. I'm thinking a UGQBandit 20 degree
but I want to compare against some sythetic options. I'm willing to pay to get light but I'm not wanting to spend a fortune either.... I like that the synthetics may not be quite so bad in damp conditions, although I'm sure i could manage down just fine for what I'm doing....

I'm not a through hiker or serious long distance guy, just getting into doing some short local trips and hope to start getting up to the mountains for a 1 week or so section this summer, and maybe again every year or so.....
I have a BA Kings Canyon quilt that has been pretty good for me in summer conditions, down to 50 or a bit lower.... I'm becoming more sensitive to cold as I get older, and my colder weather bag is just to big and heavy.

Enlightened Equipment has a synthetic line. They are heavier than their down counterparts but quite a bit lighter than a sleeping bag still.

Check out Enlightened Equipment's Revelation APEX (https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation-apex/) quilts.

I have the 40deg Apex quilt and it weighs 17.7 oz. Made with 10D inside and out, which is plenty durable for me. 20D adds unnecessary weight and bulk. Below about 30deg rating I would just go with down.

I like the EE APEX Enigma, If anything gets cold it is my feet so the sewn footbox and the lighter weight due to it work great for me. 40* Reg/Reg weighs 15.94oz. I have a new(after their revision on fill weights), 50* EE APEX Enigma and it weighs 11.47oz in a Long/Wide.

thanks, I guess I saw those a long time back when I wasn't thinking synthetic..... can't believe I didn't remember them. Must be about the only good option..... Anyway, Thanks for the steer back on track.

You might want to check out Thermarest technical blankets. I have the Proton (18oz) and they can pack down incredibly small and can be found online for about $60.00

Just Bill should be an excellent source of info as well. He's a WB member.

Check out the synthetic quilts at arrowhead-equipment.com. Great value for a quality product. Paul customized my top quilt and only charged $10 extra for the width. Great customer service and pricing.
