Nice looking synthetic quilts, eh?

Post by TheBrownDog »

Not sure if Ive seen these not here before but they look rather good, especially if you like a synthetic quilt rather than down.

Not exactly cheap but pretty light and the clippy things on them look very useable. Tempted?

I’ve got a Sestral in 200, it’s a lovely thing, kept me warm and comfortable on a couple of rough hiking trips last year.

Apex packs much better than synthetics of old but mine (reg/wide) is quite chunky so it’s not made the cut on a bike trip yet.
