Zenbivy Light Quilt 25º

I tried to think of a con, and I really can't. I use a 3.5R sleeping pad in conjunction with the 23° quilt and I have slept warm in 34° weather. I'm 5'10" 220lb. and my only regret was not ordering the large, but that would've been out of comfort not necessity. It packs down extremely small. I pack it in an 8L dry bag with my sleeping pad, blow up sack(for the pad), and my sleeping bag liner. The only thing I think that might make it better would be shock cord instead of a drawstring for the footbox. I do really like the hook and loop system that makes the foot box though. For those that don't know: •23° isn't the recommended temp to use it, it's the lower limit •shake out your quilt and lay it out to let the down loft up

I really really wanted to like this :( I ordered 3 sets during the labor day sale my family and I are avid hikers. I searched far and wide for a light weight system that could get us through warm nights in Zion, to rim2rim of the grand canyon and cooler nights in Colorado, my boyfriend is tall and broad shouldered mummy bags never fit him and regular sleeping bags are too heavy for backpacking, we live in CO and were very excited to use it as soon as we got them. First night didn't reach below 40. I went to bed first I have a sleeping pad with an r-value of 7.0, wore warm tights long winter socks a sweater and a beanie, my legs were freezing within 30 mins of getting in bed. The sheet was warm i didn't feel any cold air from the ground but the quilt did not keep my legs warm. Its felt like cold air was getting through the quilt. We rechecked the hooks to make sure nothing was loose or unconnected but still was so cold, air coming through. My boyfriend didn't even try using his because he didn't want to deal with cold pockets after a tiring day. Luckily we both brought our big clunky heavy sleeping bags mind you rated for 35 degrees for $30 from BIG5 and used them instead which I didn't need my beanie or sweater. I'm sad I spent so much on something rated for 25 and it didn't keep me warm at 40 degrees. Maybe we'll only use it for Zion where temps are above 55 but definitely not on the Colorado trail. Great customer service great idea def light weight, but just didn't work :(

The quilt arrived in under a week and feels amazing. Comes with a mesh storage bag, but not with a compression sack. The only issue I have is the return policy. You have to pay for your own shipping to return something which, for a system someone pays almost $500 for, is disappointing. The bag itself looks great, came quickly, and ill update my review once it gets some adventure time!

We took out the zenbivy sleep system out last weekend using a ice fishing tent on top of about 3' of snow. I set up on top of a tarp and had a heater buddy running. My quilt is rated for 23° so it was cold in the middle of the night but not miserable. Hindsight next time we'll use down pants to sleep in while in snow, so I know it will be perfect for the rest of the year. The 5 stars is for how comfortable the zenbivy is. My wife sleeps like a bear so s mummy bag would never work for her.

I searched long and hard for months before pulling the trigger on a sleep system that would be the one to take on a long through hike, and after researching the light guilt by ZenBivy I knew what I wanted. I got the whole system, guilt, sheet, and mattress. I blew up the mattress and put the sheet on it. Then I attached the quilt and drew in the foot box. I put it outside in the back yard and climbed in after dark. It was about 38 to 40 degrees that night with a little wind and I slept like a log. I was warm and comfy like in my own bed at home. It was roomy, and that's why I went with a guilt over a mummy bag because I don't like being wrapped up like a burrito unless it's 40 below outside. It is light in my pack and I look forward to having many restful night's sleep on the trail.
