If you’ve spent any time sleeping in a rooftop tent, you’ll know that the type of blanket (or sleeping bag) you use equates to how comfortable you are during the night.
Sleeping bags tend to be the warmest option, but getting in and out of one in the confines of a rooftop tent can turn you into a contortionist. Cotton blankets usually don’t cut it for anything other than sleeping in summer weather. Down comforters, while warm, are usually covered in cotton – they can get dirty easily and if they get wet, your night’s sleep is ruined.
Why hasn’t anyone invented a rugged down blanket yet? The good folks at Prometheus Design Werx (PDW) finally did just that with the introduction of their new A.G. Wilderness Quilt.

The A.G. Wilderness Quilt is a premium goose down comforter designed for use in roof top tents and 2+ person ground tents. While the quilt has a classic style and shape, it features mountaineering grade materials that significantly reduces bulk and makes it lighter weight when packed,
The quilt is generously sized for two people and compresses down to the size of a one-person sleeping bag for easy stowing. The A.G. Wilderness Quilt has the luxe feel of your down comforter at home, but the efficiency, compressibility, and packability of your best mountaineering sleeping bag.

PDW uses premium RDS certified, 800 fill power goose down and a 20D mini-rip stop nylon shell with DWR to construct the A.G. Wilderness Quilt, just like high grade sleeping bags used for backpacking and mountaineering. Goose down offers the best of nature’s insulating properties, the best warmth to weight ratio and the nylon shell with DWR resists sprinkles and moisture.
You’ll definitely appreciate the reduced travel weight and easy packability either stowed in your overlanding rig or backpack.
PDW’s modified “XL Full” size is cut to work perfectly with two-person roof top tents and it is cut longer so you can tuck the foot end under your mattress/pad to keep the drafts out and when the chill sets in at 1 AM, you can pull it over your head.
The A.G. Wilderness Quilt retails for $319.00 and is available in dark olive green with charcoal gray trim, reversible to flame orange.
