katabatic quilts
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I like the horizontal baffles on my katabatic quilts, but they are stuffed well enough that unintentional down migration has not been a problem for me.
- Katabatic quilts are up there in quality but are easy to get.
- Quilt I'm fine with katabatic quilts, wouldn't want anything more actually.
- Katabatic quilts fit your budget and are of far better quality than EE in my experience.
- This is one of the ultimate quilts you can buy, one that you’ll love for years - I’d get your measurements right, select the 900 fill, and just get out there with it!
Cons
- Katabatic quilts are just a tad too small.
- With Katabatic quilts I found that the curved sides with the stretch banding made the quilt super drafty unless you used the strap kit. I personally don't like to strap my quilts to my pads and so it had a lot of cold spots.
- I also went from EE to Katabatic and I’ll second that they run really narrow. That being said I got the wide Flex and am happy with it.
- If you don’t starfish it’s a great bag and it’s a decently wide cut but it’s definitely smaller than the EE.
- I’m your height and weight and went with a wide pad after realizing regular width was too narrow for me (with Enlightened Equipment and Katabatic quilts at least).

Katabatics are great. However if acrobatic sleeper also means you starfish your legs you might find even the wide a little too restrictive.
