One Planet Quest Quilt

The Quest is the ultimate lightweight sleeping quilt, albeit a high-tech one. This quilt is built with the One Planet quality, technology and innovation that goes into all their gear. By itself this versatile quilt is warm(ish), superlight and compact. It is easily secured around any sleeping mat to keep you warm in mild conditions.

In cooler weather, the Quest is to sleeping bags what thermals are to layering, combining with the Nitrous for warmth in a huge range of temperatures. The Quest can be secured as an internal layer in the Nitrous, allowing you to pick and choose your bags to suit the conditions. Available in regular or large.

Fabric

Quest quilts are made using lightweight and highly breathable 15-denier Vapour Vent fabric. This strong, compressible and highly breathable fabric is ‘downproof by construction’: the tight weave keeps the down in but allows water vapour to escape. This reduces the possibility of clamminess and allows the down to loft fully for maximum performance.

Down

One Planet use two qualities of down in their sleeping bag range. The Quest quilts are filled with 700+ loft DWR DOWN.

700+ loft DWR-treated duck down is One Planet's best value down, used for applications where minimum weight and packed size are not critical. Sleeping bags filled with this down are around $50 cheaper than their 800+ loft counterparts and around 100 grams heavier.

800+ loft DWR-treated duck down is our premium choice – a must for the gram counters. This high-lofting white duck down delivers luxurious warmth at a fine, feathery weight. This down has excellent compactability and loft recovery.

Down is the best insulation for lightweight sleeping bags due to its loft, compressibility and durability. However, this golden fibre has a failing: its ability to insulate drastically decreases when it is wet.

The solution is now here – DWR DOWN. This down has been selected to meet our rigorous standards, with a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment applied after the cleaning and sorting process.

The benefits of DWR DOWN are:

• It absorbs less water in damp conditions
• It retains higher loft (insulation) in damp conditions
• It dries faster

Ethically sourced down

One Planet's down is ethically sourced, harvested and cleaned before purchase, with both the down and our supplier passing independent International Down and Feather Laboratory (IDFL) audits relating to ethical traceability. This means that the white down and feathers we purchase are from animals that haven’t been live plucked or force-fed at any point during the supply chain.

The IDFL has been around almost 40 years and has a solid base in China, from where around 75% of the global supply of down is sourced. There are more details on the IDFL here: www.idfl.com/whytest
