I haven't yet gathered enough real-world testing on this model to confirm its performance.Two sizes available!I've decided to make two versions of this cold-weather quilt, both with the same generous 147cm width.This listing – Regular Wide192 × 147cm420g of 850+ FP Goose DownApproximately 705g packedSuitable for users up to approximately 180cm / 5'11"£175My other listing – Long Wide213 × 147cm470g of 850+ FP Goose DownApproximately 766g packedSuitable for users up to approximately 195cm / 6'5"The extra 50g of down in the longer version is there to compensate for the additional length, rather than to make it a significantly warmer quilt.Both models are designed for a similar temperature range, so I'd recommend choosing the one that best suits your height.A little backgroundHello everyone! 👋I'll try to keep this honest and useful so you can decide whether this quilt is right for you.Some of you might remember my previous batch of 50 ultralight summer quilts.I originally ordered them as a bit of an experiment. I wanted to bring in a well-made ultralight quilt without unnecessary branding or markup, something practical that I would happily use myself.I wasn't really planning on building a brand at the time.Well, things went a little differently than expected!All 50 quilts sold in approximately 45 days, and I received no negative feedback from those sales.Even better, quite a few people took the time to message me about their experiences, share feedback and sometimes even send photographs from their camping trips.It was genuinely lovely to see.That gave me the confidence to continue this little project, make a few improvements and expand the range into different sizes and temperature categories.The original quilts were mainly designed for warmer conditions, and while they performed very well for their intended purpose, I wanted to offer something for people who enjoy camping when the temperatures start dropping.And that's how these cold-weather quilts came about.I'm still just a bloke who loves camping, working on this alongside my full-time job and hopefully building a little cottage gear brand, one quilt at a time. 🏕️I wanted something considerably warmer than my summer model, without moving away from the lightweight, compact design that made the original quilts so appealing.This version contains 420g of 850+ fill-power goose down, considerably more insulation than the 270g summer quilt.Fill power is a measurement of how much space down occupies when allowed to expand under standard conditions.Generally speaking, higher-fill-power down provides more loft for the same weight, which is particularly useful for backpacking equipment.The aim is to offer a good balance between warmth, packed size and weight.I also decided to keep the construction fairly simple rather than adding unnecessary features.No complicated adjustments or excessive hardware. Just a lightweight quilt designed to keep you warm when used with a suitable sleeping system.Why a permanently closed footbox?Unlike my 270g summer quilt, which has a zipped footbox and can be opened completely, these cold-weather models have a permanently closed footbox.That was a deliberate decision.During warmer nights, being able to open your quilt like a blanket is wonderful.But when temperatures start dropping below freezing, I personally think keeping the footbox closed makes much more sense.It removes the potential draughts associated with a footbox opening and helps keep the insulation wrapped around your feet.The quilt still gives you the freedom of movement you'd expect from a backpacking quilt, but the enclosed footbox is better suited to colder conditions.The regular version measures 192 × 147cm with 420g of down, while the longer version measures 213 × 147cm with 470g.The additional 50g in the longer version helps maintain a similar amount of insulation relative to its size.Temperature performance – an honest explanationOne of the most common questions I received about the original quilts was:"Hi mate, what's the comfort rating?" 😂And understandably so!For the previous summer model, I had my own camping experience and plenty of customer feedback to help provide realistic temperature guidance.That quilt performed very well, with several customers reporting comfortable nights around 4–5°C.I also personally used it in the Peak District when the temperature inside our tent was approximately 5°C, while outside it dropped to around −0.5°C.Wearing merino thermals, I slept comfortably.My wife, who sleeps colder than I do, needed an additional down layer, but we both had a good night.Those experiences helped me understand what the original summer quilt could realistically do.However, this 420g cold-weather quilt is a new design.My intended temperature range is:Target comfort: approximately −5°CTarget lower limit: approximately −10°CThese are design targets, not confirmed temperature ratings.I haven't yet had the opportunity to thoroughly test this model in those conditions, and I don't want to pretend otherwise.Until I've gathered sufficient real-world experience, I would recommend treating those temperatures as provisional and allowing a sensible safety margin when planning colder trips.Everyone sleeps differently, and your sleeping pad, clothing, shelter, humidity, wind and personal tolerance to cold all make a difference.A few things worth rememberingThese estimates assume you're using the quilt inside an appropriate shelter.A tarp or more exposed setup can feel significantly colder than a properly pitched tent, especially when wind and draughts are involved.Your sleeping pad is extremely important.A quilt relies on your sleeping pad to insulate you from the ground, so for sub-zero conditions you'll need a genuinely well-insulated pad.I'd also recommend appropriate thermal clothing and separate head insulation, as quilts don't have the enclosed hood you'd find on a traditional sleeping bag.If you're unfamiliar with quilt camping, I'd suggest getting used to the system in milder conditions before relying on it during a freezing night.I'd much rather people have a comfortable night's sleep than try to push equipment beyond what they're comfortable using.Sleeping pad strapsThe quilt comes with a matching sleeping pad strap system.The straps weigh approximately 32g and help keep the quilt positioned around you, reducing draughts when you move during the night.This becomes particularly useful in colder weather.Personally, with my summer quilt, I often don't bother using straps at all.I like being able to move freely and use the quilt almost like a duvet at home.But for colder conditions, getting a good seal around your body is much more important, which is why I recommend using the straps when temperatures start dropping.Materials and constructionThe quilt uses an ultralight 10D 470T nylon shell and a box-baffle construction.Box baffles allow the down to loft between the inner and outer fabric while avoiding the direct stitched-through lines found in simpler constructions.This helps reduce potential cold spots.The quilt contains 420g of 850+ FP goose down, chosen for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility.As with any down product, the insulation can occasionally move within the baffles during use.A gentle shake and redistributing the down where necessary will help maintain a more even layer of insulation.With my previous quilts, I personally experienced no noticeable down leakage and was impressed by the quality and finish of the nylon fabric.I'm very pleased with how this new batch has turned out as well.Who is this quilt for?This quilt is mainly intended for backpackers and wild campers looking for a warmer sleeping setup without carrying an unnecessarily heavy sleeping bag.It's particularly suited to people who enjoy heading out during the colder months, when saving weight and backpack space is still important.But I'll say the same thing I said in my original listing:If you're only walking 20–30 minutes from your car to a campsite, you probably don't need an ultralight quilt like this.There are plenty of heavier, less expensive sleeping bags that will do the job perfectly well.The real benefit of a quilt like this becomes much more noticeable when you're carrying all your equipment over longer distances.And if you've never used a quilt before, remember that managing draughts and having a properly insulated sleeping pad are essential parts of the system.Quilts are wonderful, but they're not necessarily for everyone.What's included?420g-fill ultralight goose down quilt – approximately 618gCompression sack – approximately 55gSleeping pad straps – approximately 32gTotal packed weight: approximately 705gNo separate large mesh storage sack is included.Down care and storageWhen you first unpack your quilt, it probably won't look quite as lofty as it does in the photographs.That's completely normal.The quilts are compressed for shipping, and down needs a little time to recover.I'd recommend taking it out of the compression sack, giving it a gentle shake and allowing approximately 48–72 hours for it to fully loft.For long-term storage, please don't leave the quilt tightly compressed for months at a time.Ideally, hang it somewhere dry or store it loosely in a large breathable bag.Keeping down permanently compressed can gradually reduce its ability to loft properly.Look after it, keep it clean and dry, and it should serve you well for many years.Final thoughtsI'm genuinely excited about these new quilts.When I first ordered 50 summer quilts, I had no idea whether anyone would actually buy them.Seeing them sell out, receiving lovely customer messages and hearing about people taking them on their own adventures has been incredibly encouraging.I've tried to take everything I've learned from that first batch and put it into these new designs.The aim hasn't changed.Good-quality, lightweight, practical camping equipment at a sensible price.Nothing unnecessarily complicated, and no exaggerated promises.I'm still learning, improving the products and listening to feedback as this little project grows.If you're unsure which size to choose, what temperature range might suit you, or whether a quilt is right for your sleeping setup, please feel free to message me.I'd much rather help you make the right decision than sell you something unsuitable.Thank you for supporting my little project.Happy camping! 🏕️Vlad
