“. . . even a jaded ultralight gearhead would recognize the Katabatic Gear Sawatch 15 as an elegantly engineered, eminently effective, and extremely efficient piece of equipment.” – Matt Waughtel, backpackers.com



Pack ultralight, and still get a great night's rest

We don’t think that ultralight adventurers should have to sacrifice comfort or function when choosing ultralight gear. We didn’t just remove unnecessary weight, but thoughtfully designed the ultimate ultralight quilt style sleeping bag with features that will keep you warm and comfortable:

  • Three comfort-rated temperature choices, ranging from 30°F to 15°F, weighing in from 18.5 oz. to 24.7 oz. in the regular size.
  • Our patented pad attachment system is versatile, and the most effective on the market. It attaches your quilt to the top of your sleeping pad, allowing freedom of movement without heat loss. The Elite series features secondary pad attachment points for even more draft protection for active sleepers or windy nights. If you’re sleeping without a pad (i.e. hammock camping), we send alternative straps to keep out the cold. See our product manual for more information.
  • Mummy shaping will fit your shape efficiently without feeling too constrictive. This maximizes your comfort and minimizes the weight of the bag.
  • Differential cut throughout the quilt means the liner fabric has a smaller circumference than the shell fabric. Therefore, a jutting knee or elbow won’t lead to cold spots, and you can sleep comfortably.
  • Continuous horizontal baffles are a benefit when they are properly filled. The down won’t migrate from tossing and turning, but you can redistribute it with your hands for warm or cold conditions.
  • Down filled collar will make sure heat does not escape, and is much cozier than a nylon wrapped drawcord.
  • Trapezoidal foot box naturally mimics the direction of your feet when sleeping on your back, avoiding down compression and cold toes.
  • Highest quality lightweight Pertex Quantum Y Eco (made with recycled yarns) with industry leading DWR (Durable Water Repellent).
  • Ethically sourced, RDS (Responsible Down Standard) Certified down from Allied Feather and Down provides the most effective warmth to weight ratio. Choose from 900 f.p. goose down (untreated or HyperDry), or 850 f.p. HyperDry water resistant duck down. All of our down filled outdoor quilts come with a Track My Down tag, so you can verify that the down in your specific ultralight sleeping bag is only the best.
