Therm-a-Rest 20F Down Quilt vs Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20
Both are 20°F ultralight quilts that need a pad underneath. The Therm-a-Rest edges ahead on fill quality and wet-weather protection: 900-fill Nikwax hydrophobic goose down in a 10-denier shell, at about 1 lb 6 oz. The Enigma carries more down (about 15.5 oz of 850-fill) and comes in more sizes, so it suits cold-footed sleepers and people who want a wider or longer cut. Reviewers rate both as solid three-season quilts; the Enigma is the more customizable pick, the Therm-a-Rest the more weatherproof one.
- Choose the Therm-a-Rest 20F/-6C Down Quilt if you want the higher-fill, water-resistant down and a slightly lighter quilt for damp, cold trips.
- Choose the Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20 if you sleep cold at the feet, want a sewn footbox, or need a short, long or wide size.
