Lightweight, warm, compact and comfortable! It’s like a bag and quilt all in one. I need a warm toebox and love the fact that I can keep my feet nice and cozy while draping the rest over my upper body. This allows me to move around very easily and adjust. So far I love the bag!

When the temperatures drop, stay warm and cozy with our award-winning Classic Sleeping Bag. Striking the perfect balance of warmth and weight,​ our ultralight Classic Sleeping Bag features a 3/4th length zipper on the bottom, combining the best aspects of a down quilt and a down sleeping bag, all at an unbeatable weight!

Our Summer Quilt is designed with just the right amount of warmth for summer nights when the forecast is 40F (4C) or above. This bag is so light, and packs down so small it can easily be tucked in your day pack just in case, or achieve an unbeatable base weight on longer summer trips.

Combine this quilt with our Zpacks Goose Down Jacket and a Fleece Hat to boost the warmth even further when needed.

The summer quilt closes with a snap at the center and at the neck for easy venting on hot nights. Shock cord can be cinched at the neck to seal out drafts.

The Summer Quilt is also compatible with our Sleeping Pad Quilt Strap (sold separately) which allows you to snap it to your sleeping pad to keep it tucked and in place.

When freezing weather rolls around the Summer Quilt springs back into action as a Winter Liner. It works well as an additional layer to push the limits of your three season sleeping bag further into the colder seasons. It fits well inside any of our bottom zipper or side zipper sleeping bags, quilts, and mummy bags.

If you can only own two sleeping bags, combine one of our 20F (2.5" loft) bags and this (1.25" loft) Summer Quilt / Winter Liner to keep you comfortable nearly year round by layering as needed.

A Zpacks Slim DCF Roll Top Dry Bag is included! A $30+ value!
