ENLIGHTENED EQUIPMENT ENIGMA long term review the GOOD and the BAD

Enlightened equipment enigma quilt review. I wanted to talk about some of the good and bad things about this backpacking quilt as well as give the specs.
Enlightened equipment makes very high quality backpacking quilts. However I’m not sure I’m totally sold on the vertical baffle design. It’s been said, vertical baffles help with down shift inside the baffling. My experience with vertical baffles is that down shift happens, regardless of which way the baffles run.
Backpacking quilts have a couple advantages over sleeping bags. They also have some disadvantages,especially in cold weather. Controlling drafts is the primary concern. Nothing will wake you up faster than a 9* draft hitting the back of your neck! That is why I prefer sleeping bags over quilts when the weather get cold.
The temperature rating of this enlightened equipment enigma quilt seems to be spot on (30*). I have pushed this quilt far passed it’s stated temperature rating ( I have pushed this quilt down to 19*) and have found it to hold its own in conditions it wasn’t designed for. If you stick to the quilts original temperature rating and above, your almost guaranteed to be warm.
Again this enlightened equipment enigma quilt is a great piece of gear. Highly recommended.
