This was a really weird commercial for OV. I'm sure their products are good but none of these designs are revolutionary, in fact all of these designs are already on or at least an option from all other quilt manufacturers that I'm aware of.
I'm sorry you feel this way. Believe it or not, I filmed this video about 2 years ago after my thru-hike. But it sat on the "shelf" for a long time. My intent was to explain the difference and progression of mummy bags to quilts, and how I feel this quilt was actually designed specifically for ground sleeping and incorporates some of the best features of mummy bags but in quilt form (eg. the way the shoulders curl in to "tuck" around you, the shape of the foot box (which to my knowledge, I haven't seen in any other quilts, etc.).
But mostly, just wanted to help inform and maybe get a few people who are "quilt hesitant" the confidence to try something new!
Regardless, thanks for your input, and Keep Moving Forward!

You weren’t lying! You did post a video! AND a QUILT video to boot!
Probably the best quilt video of the past two weeks 💁♂️
😂 Man, that quilt is SO OBVIOUSLY trying to be a quality sleeping bag! They just took out the zipper and left you without any head coverage.
I used to think the same thing but when I decided to give it a try I bought this exact quilt….and I was wrong. Granted I could actually clip this around me but I’m small framed and couldn’t move a bit. But it’s my favorite sleeping bag/quilt now.
Haha every quilt wants to be a bag and every bag wants to be a quilt! 😝
@@TheNypenfan This was your first quilt too? I can clip this around me too... but its PRETTY tight... to the point where it might actually be limiting the down from lofting fully and keeping me warm.
Brother I have their 15 and 0 top and bottom quilts and I love them. Older models with less features, but still great quilts!
I'm happy I chose this as my first quilt! I don't think I would have been as pleased with a different quilt, and may have been more turned off of them... or just not as impressed.
Their prices must have just increased in the last month, because I'm seeing it listed from your provided link at $329.97 USD.
Are you back?! Is this one of many coming? Love the video!
It's an old one that I've been wanting to post.... it one of... a few... every few years most likely... (keep your hopes low lol)
what happened to great divide section B?
So very glad to see you back. Missed you sir
It’s fun to post a video again every once in a while. Hope to keep doing a few more just here and there.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Guess who's back, back again, Jesse's back, tell a friend! Awesome vid, can't wait for more!
Haha I appreciate this!
Thanks man... ps. excited for the big upcoming product release ;)
@@BackcountryForward Me too!
What always ticked me off is You are paying triple the price for a sleeping bag with less fill. Less material. No hood and no zippers... They should be 3x cheaper.. Quilts are a scam and the manufacturers are laughing their way to the bank at all the dorky UL'ers money. I have never seen a fair priced Quilt.
While they aren’t 3x cheaper. I can confirm that the OV quilts ARE cheaper than the OV sleeping bags.
But yeah… sadly prices aren’t driven just by materials but also by supply and demand. And it seems the demand for quilts his high, and the supply relatively low (you can’t find them just at any big box store). Where has there’s 10:1 sleeping bags available for every quilt.
So I think that has a bigger impact on the price.
Hard agree. Of course "the industry" loves quilts. Imagine believing a single thing that a company says whose sole motive is to sell product. Makes you shake your head and wonder.
@@Nickropolis but “the industry” doesn’t love quilts. In fact big name and big box manufacturers make very few quilts and they are rarely very sell well.
It’s only the “niche market” of ultra-light and thru-hikers who love quilts. And there’s a (relatively) small market of home spun, garage start-ups who rose up to start to meet that demand. Now some of those companies have gotten a bit larger (like EE or OV). But they are still tiny companies compared to “industry” companies like REI, Thermarest, Marmot, North Face etc.
That’s like saying “the big bread industry” loves selling delicate pastries because little bakeries on the streets sell pastries… meanwhile the real industry (wonder bread, big box grocery stores) almost exclusively sell loaves of bread and just have pastries as a small side option.
You’re calling the little guys “the industry” because they’ve found a niche market to serve. When the big name brands (the real industry) are making a fortune off of serving the masses who only want sleeping bags (or only know about sleeping bags).
I think it’s good for small companies to find niche markets to serve. Like those ultralighters and thru-hikers who want quilts.
@@BackcountryForward Thanks for the reply. I'm relatively new to backpacking but what I see is quilts being pushed by just about everyone and backed by sponsors. Maybe it's a specific usage case and I'm only looking at media that talks about quilts. Whether it's a small company or large you're still part of the industry. Everybody has different needs so if a quilt works for you then you should buy a quilt.
@@Nickropolis I definitely agree with this! That was sort of the point of the beginning of this video. The demand, interest, and focus of the industry has grown and changed.
In the end, I agree, do what’s best for you. In fact I even say in this video… I still prefer sleeping bags for some trips and for winter.
But I do think it’s worth informing people.
You’re right though they are very popular among the majority of online creators, and the quilt manufacturers have definitely got a very good presence on social media.
I think why they are so popular is simply because it’s such an easy way, and relatively affordable (because they are generally way cheaper than a similar weight sleeping bag) way to shave off significant weight without drastically changing comfort.
Lightweight backpacks change how you have to pack and how weight carries on your back. Lightweight tents are usually not freestanding, and cost a lot of money. Sleeping pads sacrifice comfort for weight savings. But you can lose a lost a pound of weight, but still be warm and have good sleeps in a quilt (albeit it does take some getting used to).
Those are just my thoughts… I think we mostly agree … but hey… I’m just from the part of the industry that posts one video every 2 years 😅
Cheers mate! Keep moving forward!
I do not like sleeping bags, especially mummy bags. I only use a sleeping bag in the winter. But this year, I'm planning on a getting winter hammock system, and then I'll be winter camping in a Scandinavian war bonnet. No more ground dwelling. Love the vids hope u post more
I still need to try the ol’ hammock set up!
One day.
Thats not a quilt! It's a sleeping bag with a bit missing! 😅🤙
Haha! I should make a parody where I just cut off parts of a sleeping bag and film it.
Dude. I literally unsubscribed like a week ago…hope this means you’re back….resubscribed.
That was YOU! Unbelievable! Well… I saw my sub count drop by one and figured I needed to do something about it! 😜
Life’s busy, but good. I’ll be trying to post the odd video every few months. Nothing as consistent as before. But I’ll try to be around!
Thanks for resubscribing…
Keep Moving Forward
0:20 Rick Mercer meets backpacking controversy
Being compared to the original walk and ranter is a high compliment!
The point is after three weeks, your zipper will be broken anyhow. that's how quilts were invented. The problem isn't bungees it's a better zipper!
I honestly can’t say I’ve ever had a zipper on my sleeping bag break (other than when I was a kid). So I’m not sure how much of a concern that really is … BUT it is one less thing to break! So good point I guess!
