Bushmen Glow -12 Underquilt

Insulated with goose down, this quilt is ready for use with a hammock or just with a sleeping pad. Your sleeping bag only protects you from the top, while its insulation is squished flat under your weight. What to do? You can try to master the art of coordinating your body, sleeping bag and sleeping pad inside your hammock, or purchase a dedicated quilt like this.

When using this quilt together with a sleeping bag suitable for the weather, it gives you a comfort temperature of -12°C and limit of -19°C. When using only with a sleeping pad, the comfort temperature is -5°C and the limit is -12°C. NOTE! These temperatures are estimates made by the manufacturer, not EN tested values.

If you don’t like sleeping bags at all, just enjoy the quilt with a sleeping pad. On the other hand, adding a quilt on top of a sleeping bag increases insulation in a dramatic fashion.

The long baffles in the leg portion enable the down to spread evenly regardless of whether you use the quilt with a hammock or not.
