Together, the hood and wings of the sheet create a draft shield. Attaching your quilt to the draft shield keeps it "tucked" at your sides to block drafts and guides the corners of the quilt into the hood to seal in warmth around your neck and shoulders.

The sides of the draft shield function as hinges, allowing the quilt to move freely, expanding and settling naturally while keeping the quilt from falling off the mattress. This unique design instantly gives you space when you need it and the ability to wrap the quilt snuggly around you when you want it.

Unlike sewn footboxes that restrict your movement and do not vent, Zenbivy’s patent-pending Fast Footbox™ uses a single clip that allows it to expand for more space or narrow for more warmth.

Other quilts have a drawstring running the full width of the quilt. When cinched, it’ll shorten, lifting the sides and letting in drafts. The baffle-backed Kylie-curve™ cinches only the center of a Zenbivy quilt, leaving either side loose to drape around you or tuck into the hood to block drafts around your shoulders.

We designed our quilts for thermal efficiency, distributing the down fill to provide the most warmth where it's needed, with smaller baffles to minimize downshift. We focus primarily on keeping the heat at your core and feet, but provide ample insulation in every chamber for consistent warmth.

Other quilts are commonly hourglass in shape, creating a pinch point that causes the quilt to grab and twist as you move. Zenbivy quilts are semi-rectangular, providing you the space and freedom to move naturally—without constriction.

Unlike a traditional backpacking quilt + straps combo, Zenbivy sheets feature an integrated hood to insulate your head. Sheets are available in insulated styles for full mummy bag warmth or uninsulated styles for use in warmer weather or to line with a down jacket.

The sheet's integrated hood acts as a built-in headboard, with loops to clip in your Zenbivy SoftTop™ Pillow to keep it from sliding off the mattress.

*Only new 2024 sheets and pillows feature the clip attachments. 2023 and older models do not.

Other backpacking quilts use thin, sticky fabrics that cling to you like plastic wrap in damp or warm conditions. To maximize comfort, Zenbivy Ultralight Quilts use premium “full-dull” Pertex® Quantum. Feather-light and soft to the touch, it's fabric that feels like fabric, not a trash bag.

Goose down is a premium alternative for those who are sensitive to duck down. 900 fill-power ExpeDRY™ goose down from ALLIED Feather + Down is simply the lightest and the best.

ExpeDRY™ is the future of performance and sustainability, using a chemical-free bonding of non-toxic gold particles to the down clusters to aid in evaporation so the down dries faster and stays dry in high humidity conditions.

Our proven draft-free color-coded clip system is nearly weightless compared to zippers. Our clip quilts and sheets are more versatile since any clip quilt can be paired will any clip sheet, allowing you to mix and match to build your perfect setup.
