Review Pros :
……………..
Versatile-can be used in many ways. - Works for ground sleepers and hammock users
Easy to vent if you are getting warm
Price is excellent!
Good size for most people- easy to stay covered
Weight is also very good
Material is comfortable against the skin
Warmth; far warmer than what I was expecting. It’s rated for 50F but I have taken into the mid 40’s and was still warm. Your mileage will vary but 50F is accurate for most people.
Excellent quality all around with only Minor loose threads here and there
Good compression bag; it works and compresses quite small
No hood which allows for a seamless blanket/quilt use - with other similar products, I have never used the hood myself.
Review Cons :
………………
For some, a lack of hood could be a negative.
I would love to see snaps all the way to the top of the blanket so it could be used as a sleeping bag of sorts
It lacks a way to secure itself to a sleeping pad so that the user can toss and turn without it moving with them
Compression bag could be a bit bigger and that would make getting the blanket into it with a sloppy roll.
Because the nylon material is silky, rolling it tight enough to fit can be problematic.

"will this take you down to the claimed temperature, yes it will and lower" that's awesome! Thank you for the review of an alternative to the swagman! ATB Gary CT Backcountry.
Great product. Hey, thanks for flashing the Celsius on the screen, much appreciated.
Agreed, it’s annoying having to convert the temps all the time 👍🏻
Sunday morning coffee on a cold day in Yellowknife Canada and watching the coolest hand in the land = winning!
New Brunswick Canada here 👍
Yellowknife ? on my way
Luke, thank you for all of your research and information !! You really do a great job from what I can see.
I've been pondering on getting something like this. Thanks for reviewing it.
I have both the top quilt AND the underquilt for my hammock. They are absolutely the best to sleep with. I have found it to go below temps listed and easy to use to keep me warm. Onewind so far has provided great products for use in hammock camping as far as I have found over this last few months. Great review and agree with you on all points after having used this on several occasions, once down to 32 degrees. Thanks for the video and review.
I have used this all summer and have been very happy with it
I've been using their underquilt for about a year now and like it too. Thanks for the look, Luke! Stay well.
Cool! Thank you for the review. Will have to give it try.
I appreciated the thorough review, Luke!
Excellent review Luke. You’re covered all bases.
I enjoy your reviews. They are very helpful.
After your review Luke I decided to order one. I have the swagman-roll and love it, but I like the idea of the snaps, footbox, no hood and also an additional cover for my wife, I felt it was an awesome idea. Thanks!
I was a bit skeptical of your review, but because I’ve gotten a lot out of your content and I know you’re agenda-free, I bought one. You were right. This is a fantastic piece of kit, and an absolute steal at the price.
I swear you always have perfect timing with when I want to watch a video lmao!
I have one of their hammocks and their under quilt and they are both brilliant. Love your review and on the the strength of it...or almost on the strength of it I'm going to buy one. Great honest review. Just what I wanted to push me over the edge 👍 Cheers.
I bought one. I love it. Very versatile. I mostly use it as a blanket / quilt. Great product!
A similar product that I have is the Klymit Versa Luxe blanket. It has an actual footbox, places to put your hands, and snaps around the body. I was able to locate one for only $43 at Sierra Trading Post. I don't have the official temperature information, but that's my personal contribution to this video.
He’s comparing it to survival bushcraft style rugged survival multiuse poncho. Versa luxe is a fancy backpacker blanket. Does not compare at all.
And this Onewind fails miserably against the Swagman without a hood
That's a neat product, thanks for sharing. At over twice the price, it's way off for me, but maybe once I get rich 😂
Maybe I'll just stich my own additions by copying that one though
Love your adventures and reviews.
Very nice and od green is a perfect color. The price is a good deal. Thanks for review Luke
I have really come to trust your judgment. Thank you for another honest review
I like it better w/o the hood.
Thanks for the information and review. NOW ITS COFFEE TIME
I have one when I saw the swagman roll was so expensive this seemed like a good alternative definitely good product for the money. 👍
Yay! You reviewed onewind! I'm using their double hammock, underquilt, and additional blanket that takes the underquilt to even lower temps. Would live to see you review more items from onewind!
Nice! I was thinking of getting my whole setup form their brand as everything seems so great! Thid versatile top quilt, the underquilt and blanket combo (total bargain), wind sock and a tent-like tarp for wintertime.
How did everything hold up over time? Thanks in advance
I find items shaped like that go quite easily and more effectively in a packing square. Just ordered mine, thanks for the detail.
Wow! a quilt... Love this review... thank you
Will get one luke. Thank you. Stay safe my friend
Just what I've been looking for. Thanks Luke
And it smells better than Buffalo hide! Lol
Would be great if you reviewed the Hill peoples gear mountain serape. It’s made in the US by veterans. Since you’ve done a Polish design and a Chinese design it’s would awesome to see how the US made design stacked up! Another great vid man keep it up! 👍🏼
Quilt is cool and the review is awesome powerful presentation Luke you did it man.
Thank you for this informative video.
You give excellent reviews.
Love your work
Thank you for the review Luke.
Really interested in getting a couple of these . Like you I don’t want a hood . Read several reviews about the size of the head hole and overall length for taller people. Thanks for the review. Have a great evening
Thank you for sharing brother for sharing your thoughts and facts and truth about this item
I got on e last year i also bought the matching under quilt for hammock camping and iI love it in lower temps i use sweat paints and sweat shirt and I have stayed out in low 40s in my Hammock and just a tarp cover.
Luke,
Great review! Enjoyed the versatility that you demonstrated with this product. Definitely going to give it a serious consideration. Maybe, you could compare this with the regular poncho liner and the Helikon text in a side-by-side review? Looking forward to more awesome content. :)
I have the green one and my wife has the blue. We both have gone down to low 40's upper 30's and both of us were comfortable. I did need to be nestled in and had good sleeping layers. Now I always do that but IU would feel confident taking the blue one myself down to freezing.
Awesome review,
Exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you. :-)
A quilt? Try Walmart! Lol
Hey Luke! Great video! I think I like the Onewind version better than the Swagman roll. It looks like the hole for your head to go through is bigger and gives you more room.
Awesome and fair priced. I might have to go with this.
I have a complete camping system from onewind, the hammock, bug net, underquilt, tarp, it's in my opinion top quality gear at a budget friendly price point. I've been thoroughly impressed
Great video
From the sounds of it this is similar in natured the military poncho liner, affectionately called a "woobie". The woobie does not have a hood, or at least mine didn't in the mid to late '70s. The poncho and the woobie combined were enough to keep me warm while trudging around a 100-acre military communications site doing security checks during the German winters. From the looks of it, it was designed, much like the military poncho and liner to be able to go over you and your rucksack. Sounds like a good product and at a darn good price.
I've had a OneWind blanket for a while now. Never heard of them before seeing a video by Blackie Thomas. It's a great blanket. I think this quilt and the blanket have the same material. Either way, it's an excellent idea.
Yeah, I have their hammock, underquilt, and the blanket that can be added to the UQ. I really do like their stuff - good quality at entry-level prices.
I wouldn't use the insulation in freezing or below, but anything above that and I'd feel pretty confident.
I just got mine today, and wow its smooth. i like it. im in europe (DENMARK) and i didnt pay shipping, obviously thay have an offer on rigth no, with no shipping fee. Thank you Luke. goooooood tip!
Great find. This looks nice. I've wanted a swagman roll, but since I only very occasionally have use for it, I've balked at the price. This is around half the price, so I'm probably going to go for it.
Love the review. :)
Thanks Luke, alpha wolf, for this great review!
I'm an old fashioned guy. I like wool blankets. Not a fan of nylon. However, I prefer this to the Swagman.
Thanks for the review. S&H
..good info. and review. could save a dollar or two..stay safe and enjoy..
good review, strength and honor
I agree with you: hoods are mixed blessings! The ones on my equipment block my peripheral vision; they tend to hold in too much heat. If I needed to hunker down in cold weather or against a tree in cold, rainy weather, I would go with the hooded Swagman. Thanks for picking a key product to review!
I feel the same. I was born with an extra vertebra in my neck, meaning that no hoods except for "goblin" style ones ever come far enough forward on my head to be of any use, anyway.
Sounds like a banger! You could definitely bring this as an extra or replace you quilt and puffy jacket with it. I'm ok than it doesn't have a hood, I prefer a beanie. I'm looking at getting a nice wool one this year finally.
I am definately buying a couple of these, for hunting and home. The price is unbeatable.
This is an awesome alternative...great review, Luke! Definitely will add this to my gear list. Adding the Onewind quilt to the Swagman Roll should keep me warm and toasty on those temperature drop nights. This would be great to carry in the vehicle as an emergency blanket, too. I've been using the Snugpak Jungle Blanket or my old woobie lately to supplement the "Swag" but mostly to wrap my Thermarest mattress for additional insulation (increasing the R value). It's rare to find a quality product at a budget price.
I was thinking that between a woobie and this 'quilt' in a fall rating, you'd have combinations available to cover all but the coldest parts of winter at an unbeatable price.
Between the snugpak blanket, the swagman roll and the One wind blanket if you've had a chance to try it out which of the 3 do you prefer?
I have the onewind quilt, hammock, and underquilt. This winter I will find its temperature capabilities. But so far 40 degrees it's very comfortable. I'm very pleased with the product and customer service.
I bet doubling up both version of the TQ would let you get down really low.
@@swj719 yes I'm sure it will. As the temperature drops here I will learn its limits. The top quilt can be used as a poncho without a hood also.
I really liked the swagman roll but I didn’t like the hood and the size was too small for me being 6 foot six,I really liked this one and I ordered it immediately.
Like the quilt and very versatile.
Great review ..was looking for something like this but my gear budget is low..this seems like great performance at a price I can afford
Another fantastic recommendation. Super comfortable . The wolf pack is costing me amazing purchases... you have not failed me yet. Did not think I would use as a poncho but find myself wrapped in the poncho at every bonfire and then comfortable in the tent as a quilt. Keep up the great reviews.
Seems like a really good alternative, without a hood is not a huge deal as i can wear a cap. Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Based on your recommendation, I purchased this. Tested it and liked it so much that bought a second and the XL two-piece blanket.
It definitely meets the rated temperature. It is also pretty water resistant.
I am thinking about some more of these.
I also love this and it performs well insulation wise. It doesn't pack as small as a down bag which is odd, but it's super light still. I was also thinking of buying a second and seeing how low 2 x of the 35-50 degree versions could get me and how small I could roll them in one stuff sack. I realize I'd need an aftermarket stuff sack, but if I can get a 10 degree bag this light for what would be $100 total that be great. To get to 10 degrees you'd prolly also need a sol escape bivy and maybe a liner. I think with that sleep system.you'd be good for 4 seasons here in the north east u.s. at least PA
When you arrive on a video a year late & smile to catch Luke supplementing _his_ Trekology inflatapillow with the exact same Teton Sports compressible that you do. 😄
Thank you
All their products seem very good. The couple that I have are awesome. Remember that these items are made mainly for hammok camping.
Never heard of this company either. This is a really nice, budget friendly quilt. Cool!
Nice review. 👍
Looks like a very cool product I think I'm gonna get one of my own thanx cause I've never heard of this product
Need need NEED!!!
Have 2 of the 40 degree model. Slept in hammock last Saturday night was about 50 degrees fahrenheit. Was warm. Also review the Onetigres ROC Poncho.
I have it and love it
One Wind could add an attachable hood to the 3 snaps in the head hole. That would at least offer people options. The down side might be that detachable things are more easily lost, but it still seems like a good idea.
Thank you, sir, for posting. I look forward to your reviews. May I ask, how do you think this quilt stacks up to the Snugpak jungle blankets?
Your TH-cam followers need to find you a company that will hire you in their product development process. You amongst some others can really raise the bar in the outdoor gear industry. :: fingers crossed ::
All of them should listen. Practical and useful critiques.
Thanks for a great vid. I'm getting ready to buy one of these largely based on your review. Do you see a way to add straps for attaching to the sleep pad? Thanks
You know, If they were to make a snap on hood for those who would like one, this would be perfect.
have a similar product from Wiggy's. indispensable. but not as thick as this. i'll be taking a look. thank you.
I would love to see a update to this video . Perhaps personal customization of this product such as the loops to be able to attach it to your sleeping pad and etc. I think with your honest review you could do a customization videos to show ways of making the products better customized to suit the owner
I have one and use it in a hammock. I have had mine as low as in the mid 20sF. In conjunction with a sleeping only using it as bottom insulation with the one wind is a top blanket and it is quite impressive. The stuff sack is a little small and the green material is quite slick. I love mine! It's good stuff for the money! I'm thinking of sewing in loops at the corners to maybe use as additional under insulation.
So this topquilt and a sleeping pad van get you down to water freezing temps? :O
60 bucks compared to 150 ish for the swagman roll and they do almost the same thing ya ill go with the onewind and use that and if it gets colder at nights have a jungle blanket or wobbie to add to it. this is a great video and recommendation
Hi Luke, great reviews on this and the Swagman Roll. I have the Snugpak Enhanced Poncho, which I love it and have thought about getting a liner, but after seeing your reviews, I'm now torn between this and the Swagman! Can I also ask about the top you are wearing in both the vids, I've searched Merrell website but can't find it anywhere, any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Many thanks buddy.
Have you ever reviewed the ZenBivy system? I would enjoy your take. I really appreciate your unbiased reviews. Thanks!
I appreciate you sharing this and giving an honest review!
Hi Luke I love your videos is this product waterproof like if I get caught in a rainstorm will it keep me dry keep up the great work
Bet you are loving the Delta Storm now...?? Hope no bad floods!
I love my swagman roll you don't need a storage bag just pack it in the pocket on the front and its fairly compact and it's a pillow too
I would like to see camo options, white/black, Mulit/Green or FDE, ATAC/OD etc
Tan/OD and I would be ALL in.
I agree with no hood/watchcap.
Onewind has a fantastic hammock system at a super price
I'm getting both I want the helikon as a poncho mainly this looks and price wise is better than the woobie
this is perfect for hammock camping
Well I thought I was sold in the swagman, but now I’m not sure. One of the big things was looking at options for something as a summertime over quilt, and I’m liking the way this looks. Great review as usual, and gave me some great info to make an informed decision
What did you end up with an how do you rate it?
I think that absence of hood is deal breaker for me. Especially for winter usage.
Another alternative : Honcho poncho from Therm a rest....
Like your reviews, very relevant ......thanks
Yet another very similar alternative is the naturehike insulated poncho. As far as I can tell it is very similar to the Thermarest one but much cheaper.
i’m curious to know what you think about the onetigris ROC poncho liner. i just picked one up as an alternative to the swagman roll and i love it. but i’m curious how it stacks up to these.
Luke👍👍 Great review. Just wish more products like this and in general were made in the US. Looks like a very adaptable product for three season use. For me, a blanket over a bag and a wrap when hanging out in camp. As with anything, YMMV. Thanks for the video, well done. Enjoy!
Not interested in this but liked your video because it helped me decide that. thanks
Another winner and well explained by Luke why it is just that. Most of us simply can't afford the best, which makes great values like this so sweet!
Just cos it's expensive doesn't make it the best half the time dude. Certainly pays to shop around :)
