Description
The Katabatic Gear Flex 5F Quilt is a goose-down quilt weighing 806 g and rated to 5F, built for cold three-season and winter-fringe trips rather than summer use. The down is hydrophobic-treated, which helps it resist losing loft from condensation or damp air inside a tent - useful on multi-night trips where the quilt can't be aired out and dried every day.
The footbox zips open flat into a blanket for warmer nights, or stays closed with foot box ventilation for airflow without fully opening it. An insulated draft collar seals warm air in around the shoulders, and pad-attachment cords hold the quilt to a sleeping pad so it doesn't slide off or let draughts underneath - the main weak point of quilt-style sleep systems versus a full mummy bag. A silnylon stuff sack is included for packing. At 806 g for a 5F rating, it suits hikers who want quilt weight savings without giving up genuinely cold-weather warmth.
