Enlightened Equipment says: 

Our original and best selling sleeping quilt! A favorite of long distance hikers, the Revelation Sleeping Quilt is known for its amazing versatility, thoughtful design, and ultralight weight. On warm nights, The Revelation can lay open as a blanket, or in colder temperatures you can cinch the adjustable 1/4 length zipper footbox closed. This design allows you to dial in a comfortable night’s sleep in a wide range of different temperatures and climates.

The Revelation is a sleeping quilt, not a sleeping bag, which means it’s designed to be used with a sleeping pad to provide insulation underneath you, between you and the ground. The Revelation doesn’t have a full-length zipper or a built-in hood, saving weight and space in your pack.

Our Verdict

The Revelation is an incredibly versatile and adaptable quilt; left open, it works fantastically in warmer weather; unrestrictive, it’s similar to sleeping with a duvet at home. However, the quilt can be cinched right down in cooler climates, more akin to a traditional sleeping bag, including a foot box, created by zipping the sides together and pulling a draw cord to close the foot. The Footbox isn’t restrictive, and it stops your feet from straying out from under the quilt.

The Revelation includes a pair of clips that can secure the quilt to a sleeping mat; this isn’t confining and allows you to toss and turn without twisting the quilt around you. The clips are effective and prevent the quilt from moving too much, so you don’t create yawning gaps for the heat to escape.

The quilt packs down incredibly small, so it takes up very little room in your pack. This 20°F / -6°C Quilt is perfect for 3 season uses here in the UK and mild winter camping, as with all quilts, a good mat with a high R-value and good thermals are required if you wish to push the quilts to use into the minuses.

If you’ve never taken the plunge into quilt camping, but it’s something you have considered, we think you would be hard-pressed to find a better brand than Enlighten Equipment to take the leap finally.
