I came across this thread researching quilts. I’ve been looking at EE, Katabatic and Warbonnet quilts and I notice that the loft on all 3 max out around 3-3.5 inches. I used a WM Highlite bag on this years TGO and did ok with only one really cold night on Glen Avon. I had it in my mind that I might get rid of my Rab Neutrino 400 and replace it with an EE quilt. The idea is to pack the Highlite AND the EE for the colder months. The alternative is an Ultralite or even an Apache. Thoughts? I’m 6ft and 190lbs. At 70 I’m feeling the cold a wee bit more than I used to. The Rab is a bit tight for layering up inside it and I’m a restless sleeper. My mat is rated around 7 (Thermarest neoair xt max).
I should say that, having looked at the katabatic and the Warbonnet, they don’t offer a whole lot more to my eye that the EE Revelation that I can buy in the U.K. off the shelf.
