Enlightened Equipment Convert 40 950

The Enlightened Equipment Convert 40 950 is a hybrid ultralight quilt that uses a full-length zipper to switch between an open quilt and a fully enclosed sleeping bag, a flexible choice for hikers who want one piece of gear to cover more situations. It's filled with 253 g of 950-fill-power goose down, among the highest fill powers on the market, inside a 10D nylon ripstop shell with a DWR finish. Rated by the manufacturer to 40°F (about 4°C), it weighs 471 g in the Short size (fitting users up to 167 cm), placing it in three-season territory for spring through fall trips. An adjustable footbox and dual draft tubes seal off the drafts that typically affect open-back quilts, closing much of the comfort gap with a full sleeping bag. The down is RDS-certified and the shell finish is PFC-free, both relevant to buyers weighing the sourcing of insulation. A stuff sack and storage sack are included. The trade-off for this two-in-one versatility is a bit more hardware and weight than a comparable zipperless quilt at the same rating.
