Revelation 950

The ultralight Revelation 950 quilt from Enlightened Equipment, made in Minnesota (USA), is designed for hikers looking to minimize the weight and bulk of their sleep system.

Thanks to its 950 fill power goose down, it delivers an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio. A very popular choice among long-distance hikers and those who prioritize maximum ultralight performance.

Winner of the best quilt award in Backpacker Magazine 2017 and “Best Buy” from Outdoor Gear Lab in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2020.

When to use it

Revelation 950 makes sense if you want a lighter, more compact alternative to a traditional sleeping bag. With no hood and no insulation on the back, it significantly cuts weight and bulk without sacrificing comfort.

You can use it fully open like a blanket when it’s not that cold, or cinch the footbox when temperatures drop. Paired with a good inflatable sleeping pad, it’s a highly efficient system for ultralight hiking and long routes.

Design

One of the secrets behind the Revelation’s popularity is its U-shaped baffle design, made to help keep the down evenly distributed and reduce cold spots during the night.

In the footbox it features a zipper, snaps, and a drawcord closure to retain heat better when it’s cold. If temperatures rise, you can open it fully and use it like a blanket.

Made from 10D nylon and filled with 950 fill power down

The Revelation 950 uses 950 fill power goose down. This type of down has a very high loft, which makes it possible to achieve a lot of insulation using less fill.

In practice, that means less weight and better compressibility than lower fill power insulation. The outer fabric uses lightweight, breathable 10D ripstop nylon with a DWR treatment to help repel moisture.
