Enlightened Equipment Revelation 40° 850

The Revelation 40° 850 is a lightweight shoulder-season piece geared toward spring and summer — the manufacturer rates it as a two-season quilt, with comfort around 10 °C and a limit near 4 °C. Its 170 g of 850-fill-power DownTek goose down is hydrophobically treated, so it holds loft better than untreated down in slightly damp conditions. Construction uses box baffles rather than simple sewn channels, which limits down shifting and keeps insulation thickness more even than cheaper sewn-through builds. A differential cut, a trapezoidal footbox with a three-quarter-length zipper, and pad attachment loops round out the feature set; both shell and liner are 10D nylon taffeta. Total weight comes in around 420 g, the down is RDS certified, and it's made in the USA with a one-year warranty. The footbox zipper lets the quilt open flat for warmer nights or double as a camp blanket, making the Revelation 40° 850 a more versatile piece for summer and shoulder-season trips than a fully closed top quilt.
