Description:

Built for comfort, not just speed, the Icelandic Backpackers' Quilt is a variable-width alternative to a mummy-shaped sleeping bag. It offers superb temperature control and, being cut wide for wriggle room, is ideal for side sleepers and for stomach sleepers.

Three attachment loops down each side work with bungee corded toggles to attach the quilt to a sleeping bag pad to manage the variable width system. This allows you to narrow the quilt on cold nights and widen the quilt on warm nights giving you more room to move around.

The lightweight M1 fabric used throughout is super-soft and comfy against the skin and so light it allows maximum lofting of our super high-quality 900 fill power down. The box-wall construction further enhances the loft, and the generous collar with an elasticated cord lock cinch seals in warmth above the shoulders.

An optional waterproof foot cover (fully seam-seal taped) can be specified for extra protection for the foot end from condensation-soaked tent walls.

In use, the Icelandic Backpackers Quilt requires additional considerations.

  1. Head gear: With no hood, consider the warmth of the head gear you take with you: be it a warm hat, neck gaiter or balaclava. Take a look at our very warm Down Balaclava.
  2. Sleeping bag pad: The sleeping bag pad needs to be warm enough and big enough to provide the necessary insulation beneath you.
  3. Over-quilt potential: The Icelandic Backpacker Quilt is roomy enough to use over a lightweight sleeping bag, adding significant extra warmth.

Lightweight M1 fabric (weight: 39 gsm)

Lightweight silky microfibre. This close-weave 20 denier fabric is fully downproof, but also light and flexible enough to allow the down full loft. A reliable performer that has been the basis for much of our lightweight gear for some time.


900 Fillpower Down

European goose down of very high quality. A truly excellent down with large clusters, consistent quality and lively long-term performance. More on our down insulation.
