Just in time for 2021's peak camping and scouting season, ALPS Mountaineering has introduced the Pinnacle Quilt. Based on a 20D 380T nylon shell and 600 Fill Power hydrophobic down fill, the Pinnacle Quilt is engineered to more comfortably accommodate diverse sleeping positions than a standard mummy bag, while ensuring heat retention and ventilation options. The quilt measures 32 inches across the top, 75-inches long, and weighs in at 1 pound 8 ounces.
An enclosed 12X12-inch foot box keeps feet warm by eliminating drafts in this critical area. The quilt’s tapered profile helps legs and hips also stay warm, while the expanded torso and shoulder area offers room for side-sleeping and multiple arm positions. For colder temperatures, an insulated chest baffle and drawstring top traps warm air inside, yet the quilt can easily be ventilated when cooler sleeping is required.
Included with the quilt is an adjustable retention system. This allows the quilt to be secured to a sleeping pad, preventing accidental uncovering when turning over or slipping off the pad when sleeping on uneven ground.
For more information on the Pinnacle Quilt, which is available in Charcoal/Red, rated for 35-degrees Fahrenheit and comes with a 6.5X15-inch carry bag, please visit alpsmountaineering.com. MSRP: $179.99
