UOG TOP PICK—The Enigma, Enlighten Equipment's lightest quilt, is versatile, adaptable, and ideal for gram-conscious campers. It eliminates zippers with a closed-toe box and includes clips to secure it to a sleeping mat. It packs small, perfect for refuge hopping and camping in warmer climates—one of our Top Picks.
Enlightened Equipment says:
The Enigma Sleeping Quilt is our lightest and most minimalist sleeping quilt. Pairing the beloved quilt template of our Revelation Sleeping Quilt with a completely sewn-closed footbox, the Enigma is the perfect ultralight quilt for those who always get cold feet. Exceptionally warm and extraordinarily light, the Enigma offers upper body freedom of movement, while providing structure for your feet. The Enigma doesn't have a zipper or a built in hood, saving even more space and weight in your pack.
The Enigma is a sleeping quilt, not a sleeping bag, which means it's designed to be used with a sleeping pad to provide insulation underneath you, between you and the ground.
Our Verdict
The Enigma is an incredibly versatile and adaptable quilt; Enlighten Equipment’s lightest and most minimal quilt for those of us who keep an eye on every gram we take. The sowed closed-toe box does away with zips and is a simpler, stripped-down version of Enlighten Equipment’s best-selling Revelation quilt
The quilt includes a pair of clips that can secure the quilt to a sleeping mat; this isn’t confining and allows you to toss and turn without twisting the quilt around you. The clips are effective and prevent the quilt from moving too much, so you don’t create yawning gaps for the heat to escape.
The quilt packs down incredibly small, so it takes up very little room in your pack. This 50°F / 10°C Quilt would be fantastic for refuge hopping and warmer climate camping, but if you plan on camping in cooler weather, look at the rest of the Enlightened Equipment range.
If you’ve never taken the plunge into quilt camping, but it’s something you have considered, we think you would be hard-pressed to find a better brand than Enlighten Equipment to take the leap finally.
