Should you CHANGE your sleeping bag to a backpacking QUILT?

Ultralight backpacking gear is becoming increasingly popular. One of the items people look to replace is their sleeping bag for a quilt. The question is, should you? I'm using the Thermarest Vespa quilt to compare against the Thermarest Hyperion sleeping bag. These are two top-end pieces of camping gear. My summary is as follows: Go with a backpacking quilt if: You backpack in 3-season conditions. You want to minimise weight and bulk. You are an experienced or ultralight backpacker. You sleep warm or have a good insulated sleeping pad. You are a side sleeper or front sleeper. Go with a sleeping bag if: You’re camping in cold or freezing conditions. You’re new to backpacking and want simplicity. You value full-body warmth and ease over weight savings. You are a back sleeper. If you are into your hiking, backpacking and wild camping please SUBSCRIBE @BackpackingUK Thanks, Andy. #ultralightgear #ultralightbackpacking #backpackinggear
