Katabatic Flex Quilt Review

By using a sleeping quilt, you are guaranteed of weigh and volume. With a better warmth system and comfort, you are ensured a better sleep.

Aside from temperature control, sleeping quilts are also known to be lighter than sleeping bags.

This allows hikers and campers to have an easier and lighter walk in comparison to using sleeping bags. This does not compromise the quality of sleep, however, as the materials used for the quilt make all the difference in terms of weight and compression.

Features of the Katabaltic Flex
