Do you know what the most overrated and flawed piece of backpacking gear is (for me)? Sleeping quilts.

Yep...the ultralight sleeping quilt has a major flaw that people don't often talk about because they're so obsessed with how lightweight quilts are. They fail to be objective about their backpacking gear because they've either spent too much money on it, researched it for far too long to where they believe it works, or they're just unwilling to be honest about their gears' performance.

I've used a sleeping quilt for backpacking on and off for the past few years and have decided they're not for me. I like bags, have no issues with them, and I think they're a far better choice than a quilt.

Before you go buying yourself that fancy new ultralight sleeping quilt, watch this video and then ask yourself if you REALLY need that quilt after all. Maybe you do, maybe you don't.

If you DO decide to go through with it, be objective and don't go into this thing thinking your quilt will be the best purchase you've ever made because there's a chance it won't be.
