How do quilt temperature ratings work?  Quilt temperature ratings are determined using two industry standards: the EN (European Norm) and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) test methods. These standardized systems are used to rate the warmth of sleeping bags and quilts, allowing you to compare insulation performance across different brands and models. Both the EN and ISO methods provide three key temperature ratings: Comfort Rating – for cold sleepers Limit Rating – for average male sleepers Extreme Rating – for survival situations These ratings help backpackers and campers choose the best quilt for their expected overnight temperatures. EN/ISO Temperature Ratings Explained The EN and ISO standards use three key temperature ratings to describe how warm a sleeping quilt or bag will keep you: Comfort Rating – The lowest temperature at which an average woman can sleep comfortably on her back. Lower Limit Rating – The lowest temperature at which an average man can sleep curled up without waking. Extreme Rating – The survival limit for an average woman; hypothermia risk is present, and it’s not intended for regular use. All ratings are measured using a standardized setup: the test subject wears base layers, a hat, and lies on an insulated sleeping pad. This ensures consistent comparison between different quilt and sleeping bag models. How does Enlightened Equipment rate their quilts and why does it matter to me?  Enlightened Equipment ratings align with the EN lower limit standard. However, every situation is different, and you should consider your body and prior experience before deciding on a temperature rating. If you are a woman or tend to sleep cold, consider buying a warmer quilt. Quilts also differ from sleeping bags in their lack of a hood and open nature. This means headgear is extremely important to maximize your comfort in a quilt. We recommend our Torrid Hood for ma

The Altitude Sun Hoodie was built for pushing boundaries and conquering new heights. Designed for those who seek adventure and demand performance, the Altitude is one of the lightest weight synthetic sun hoodies available. Here's why it's perfect for your next excursion: Near Weightlessness and Breathability: Experience unparalleled comfort with the Altitude's lightweight construction and exceptional breathability. Whether you're trail running, hiking, or exploring the great outdoors, its thoughtful design ensures you stay comfortable every step of the way. Sun Protection: Named for its ability to shield you from the harsh sun at high elevation, the Altitude Sun Hoodie is your defense against sunburns. Tested on the challenging Uinta Highline Trail, it proved its worth over 100 miles of rugged terrain, with 80% of those miles above 10,000 ft in elevation. Moisture Management: Stay dry and comfortable no matter the conditions. The performance synthetic fabric wicks moisture away from your skin and dries rapidly, making the Altitude suitable for year-round use as a base layer. Comfortable Fit: Designed for high activity, the Altitude offers an athletic fit that's not tight or restrictive. This allows the synthetic blend to effectively manage moisture while providing freedom of movement. More Coverage: The high collar offers maximum coverage, even when the hood is down. The ultralight fabric provides sun protection without causing overheating, so you can adventure day-in and day-out without worrying about sensitive skin.  Experience better back country comfort with the Altitude Sun Hoodie. No hardware, no frills—just 4 oz of breathable & protective performance.
