The Fast Sheet—the minimalist companion to the Zenbivy Light Quilt.
We would never make you use a traditional constricting quilt strap system... Straps not only pin you to your mattress but they end up leaving drafty gaps between the attachment points. Instead, the half-length Fast Sheet with its uninsulated hood weighs in at just 3 oz and features the same hinged "wing" design as our other sheets. Clip your Zenbivy Quilt to the sheet and move around without constriction or fear of drafts.
Pop your pillow in the hood to keep it from sliding away and tuck the corners of the quilt up into the hood to block drafts around your face on chilly nights. The lightweight, uninsulated Fast Sheet is great for use in warmer weather or pair it with an insulated hooded jacket to push it into colder temps.Weighing in at just 3 oz, the Fast Sheet is ideal for the ultralight backpacker looking to complete their Light Quilt system. The minimal and uninsulated sheet is perfect for those warmer summer trips when you want to ditch some ounces in your pack.
Traditional quilt strap systems are not only constricting, but they're also drafty, letting cold air in at the gaps between the attachment points. The draft-free and constriction-free design of the Fast Sheet solves these problems. When you attach the quilt to the hinged "wings" of the sheet, it's free to get wider where and when you need it to while preventing any drafts from the sides as you move. Then, just as instantly, the quilt "settles" to wrap snuggly around you so you can move freely AND stay warm...
Stop chasing your pillow around all night. The uninsulated single-layer hood acts as a pocket to keep your pillow securely in place. Plus, on cold nights, tucking the quilt up into the hood will help prevent drafts around your head and shoulders.
The half-size sheet adds comfort to your mattress where you want it most: around your torso. The 20d Nylon Taffeta feels buttery-soft and smooth against your skin and also helps to keep your mattress cleaner for longer.
I love the idea of this but I feel like it slides around quite a bit. It is a great pillow holder however!
I have not used the Fast Sheet yet but the quality of materials and sewing are different/much better than my expectations.
I bought the fast sheet along with the 25 light quilt. Quality of the sheet and the quilt are very good. They work very well together once you get used to the hook and loop system rather than a zipper. I have not tested them in a real world camping trip, but in my quick time trying it out at home I found the sheet does not stay in place and rides up the sleeping pad once you're moving around. I assume the full sheet would not have this problem as it goes over both ends of the pad as opposed to just one. Not sure how much of a problem this will be over a whole night. Hopefully I can update this after my spring canoe trip. This is not the fault of ZenBivy, but as a warning to other Canadians who may order a bed and have it shipped to Canada, I was dinged another $163 when FedEx delivered it for Duty and Taxes!
I’m so excited to add Zenbivy to my collection. I really love that I can mix and match and cover every temperature range.
I bought this with the 40 degree quilt for my summer sleep system. It’s absolutely perfect for what I wanted. Fits my pad well and seems very well made, overall.
