Duncan reviews the Sea to Summit Glow 2 Synthetic Quilt and recommends it for cool weather as it has a comfort rating of 2°C. The synthetic quilt weighs only 900 grams and compresses to 6.9L and retains warmth even in wet conditions, making it a practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The quilt features a draw cord at the foot end to create a foot box for colder nights and utilizes synthetic fill for trusted warmth in cool environments. Its ultra-light 30D shell and 20D lining enhance durability without adding excessive weight. A notable feature is the quilt lock system, allowing users to join two Sea to Summit quilts or sleeping bags together, transforming a three-season sleeping system into a four-season one, making it adaptable for various conditions.
Duncan highlights the importance of pairing the quilt with a quality sleeping mat for optimal comfort and insulation. He explains how quilts, unlike traditional sleeping bags, eliminate unnecessary fabric and features to reduce weight while maintaining effectiveness. By cutting away extra material and minimising buttons, clips, and zippers, quilts offer a lightweight alternative that many may overlook.
Overall, Duncan recommends the Sea to Summit Glow 2 Synthetic Quilt to lightweight travellers seeking an ethical and practical alternative to traditional sleeping bags. He suggests pairing this with a high-quality sleeping mat with sufficient R-rating to guarantee a comfortable night's sleep.
