CEDAR CITY, Utah (Sept 20, 2024) – Outdoor Vitals, the Utah-based performance outdoor brand, announced the release of their newest version of the StormLoft® ultralight down sleeping quilt for backpacking. This release will be on Sept 23, 2024. The StormLoft® Down Topquilt is the next installment of the top-selling quilt the brand has been promoting for years – they have released regular updates as they’ve developed new innovations. These new top quilts weigh about half the weight of a comparable full sleeping bag & pack down much smaller while providing the same amount of warmth & comfort.
“This last decade all the rage has been around DWR coatings on down insulations. I’ve tested all types…water based, waxed based, this brand vs that brand. I’ve even tested many options of synthetic imitation downs! All of these were created to try to get down to perform as well as possible when faced with moisture.” comments Outdoor Vitals.
“Now we’ve found that ExpeDRY™ Down out-performs DWR treated down in pretty much any real-world test. The gold nano-particles attack the hydrogen bond of water molecules & prevent droplets from forming, which allows for more rapid evaporation. The gold treatment is permanent & chemical free, & won’t wash out like DWR down treatments. In the end, you get a quilt that maintains full loft day after day, even if you’ve got lots of condensation in your tent or crawl into bed wet & sweaty.”
Designed with extensive input from thru-hikers and runners, the $350 StormLoft® Down Quilt offers unmatched comfort, dry times, and packability for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to lighten their load without giving up warmth at night. These quilts also boast a unique tapered design & baffle layout that wraps intuitively around the user, and keeps down exactly where you’d want it.
They outperform other models by naturally reducing cold drafts, maintaining full loft after days of use, & keeping total pack weight down.
An insulated draft collar, a precise anatomically shaped footbox, and drawcord retention loops enhance your ability to sleep comfortably in the backcountry. You can seal in heat much more effectively without a drawcord dangling in your face or uncomfortable bunching. This, combined with the fact that the fabrics & DWR treatments are PFAS free make the new StormLoft® Down Quilt an excellent choice for outdoor adventurers.
