Best praise vs top criticism for Katabatic Gear Alsek 22
“At those temperatures the deflated pad is ruining your night of sleep with any sleeping bag. You might as well get a comfort rated quilt and save the weight. Katabatic Allsek 22 is a really good quilt and would work nicely.”
“I have a WM alpinlite. It's incredible how versalite their bags are. I use it as a quilt when it's too warm. The zip goes 95% of the way down. It's actually more useful as a blanket style than my katabatic alsek, which has a much longer sewn footbox. I can also move the down thanks to continuous baffles, which is almost the ultimate thermal regulater. The only issue I have is the down does move around, but most of the time I don't care. If I expect a cold night, I'll shake the down so that it's mostly on top. If I expect a warm night, it's much easier to just cover myself in the part that has the least down. Any warmer than that, and my liner is probably enough.”
