The Big Meadows Ultralight 20°F is a three-season backpacking quilt. It weighs 16.5 oz in the Regular. It is filled with 1000 fill power RDS-certified down and has a 10 denier, 0.67 oz nylon shell. It works as a top quilt on the ground or inside a hammock.
The quilt has a half-taper shape. It is 55 inches wide from the head end to the midpoint and tapers to 45 inches at the foot end. A snap-and-drawcord system at the head end forms shoulder pockets that seal out drafts at the neck. The foot box closes with a drawcord, cord-locks and double-sided Kam Snaps. Leave it open to use the quilt as a blanket. Three tabs along the sides give extra attachment points.
The quilt ships with a 25% overstuff by weight, so each baffle keeps its loft as the down shifts over time. The shell is independently tested and certified downproof and has a DWR coating. Any Big Meadows or Wearable quilt of the same length snaps to another, so quilts can be stacked for colder nights. Quilts made from 2019 on have the snaps. Earlier quilts used Omni Tape, which does not stack. It comes with a storage bag that does not compress the down and allows airflow.
