Aegismax 32 Degree Wind Hard Twilight Quilt (3 month)Review

I was blown away by the warmth and comfort of the this thing.
Here's: a link to their aliexpress store:
www.aliexpress...
I don't get any kickbacks or financial gain from sales of this product. While Aegismax did send me this product free of cost, I believe they are a company that is producing quality products at a very low cost with customer service that greatly exceeds my experience with expensive, American brands.

Just ordered this as part of my ultralight 3 season system for the UK (maybe even winter use with a heavy liner). Thanks for the review.

Could you demo/talk about how it straps/attaches to a sleeping pad?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

So because mine was an early demo it did not come with straps. Typically there are some loops/connection points on the side where you attach the straps and wrap them around your pad. Personally, I looked into rigging something up with some elastic cord but after a couple nights sleeping with the quilt I realized rolling out of it was a no issue for me.

[@kberlin4221]

This quilt has duck down instead of goose down. The description in the video is not correct.

[@styledliving]

i wish they had one for 0ºF comfort rating. I camp in cold weather all the time and we hit sub zero a lot. Would rather not have to run a bag liner to go with this. But I have to credit Chinese bag manufacturers for the three temp rating system they use. Extreme - probably won't die and also won't sleep Transition Temperature - Cold sleep, but you'll sleep Comfort Temperature - Probably going to be toasty And for the most part, the 9º difference between Comfort and Transition seems right between cold and hot sleepers, and the 28º difference between transition and Extreme is about right too. You get a typical bag from Big Agnes, Marmot, MSR, NEMO, North Face, Therm-a-rest, etc, it's all bullsh*t ratings. Can't tell who they're for and how well they're going to be. They expect people to buy a bunch of bags to find one that works for them, and then after a 12 months they change the designs again and the temp ratings are far off from what their intended purpose is. But yeah, AEGISMAX just needs to add some more goosedown to the Wind Hard and bring us down to 0ºF.

[@hackendan1921]

You can add extra fill to them. I added 120 grams for an extra $12. Definitely worth it!

[@mennopieters3512]

I got mine with 150 gram overfill for 15 euros haha hoping to squeeze out some more degrees out of it hoping for a -10c im a hammocker have a underquilt rated for -12c high comfort and -17 low comfort hoping to combine the two for a -10c sleeping system ​@@hackendan1921

[@dinomaskot90]

Thinking about getting this quilt for me and a DUSK bag for my girlfriend.. I've never used a quilt, but i do move a lot while sleeping and i'm a side sleeper, so it seems like a perfect solution for me. Do you still use/like the quilt and do you happen to know anything about the DUSK bags? Thank you

[@BCsJonathanTM]

How tall are you, what size did you get, what position(s) do you usually sleep in, and all that considered how did you find the fit?

[@timog7358]

great review

[@timzhang8512]

Could you let us know the height of the internal baffle fabrics? I have something similar and am wondering whether I should upgrade.

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

I'd say the baffles are about 2". Thats just eyeballing it so take that with a grain of salt though.

[@user-fx4cl2fs5j]

Hello. What is the width at the shoulders? There are different numbers in the description. 154 cm or 140 cm

[@fmrtn6910]

Regular 175x130 and Long 185x154

[@massimilianoporreca2594]

Ordered one for the Altavia delle Dolomiti n. 2, sidesleeper with one leg raised up, hope he does the job. Done it already with a mummy but hate how the snug fit prevent me to raise up the knee. Hope he's also on spot about the temperature range🤞🏻 🥶

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

Make sure you have a good pad if you're gonna push it. Remeber they test these things with an R-7 pad wich very few UL backpacker are gonna carry. I use the xtherm which is R-6.9.

[@massimilianoporreca2594]

@@eastbynorthwestoutdoors i have a sea to summit ultralight insulated R-3.2...i expect coldest temp around 0 celsius. Wath do you think? O and thx for the review i recived mine and i can confirm it s a good piece of kit for the money 👏🏻hope i can test it soon🏕

[@loganfishbeard]

@@massimilianoporreca2594 You can alway throw a small foam pad underneath your air pad to get an extra 5C of warm. Every pad is different though, I alway try to test my sleep systems in the back yard so I know how far I can push them on the trail. You will know pretty quickly if your pad isn't warm enough as you will feel the cold comming through. Hope that helps😁

[@geoffs1683]

Hey, thanks for the review! Did you have any issues with feather loss (feathers poking through) being that it’s 10D?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

Nope! Maybe two or three feathers between all the times I've used it.

[@geoffs1683]

@@eastbynorthwestoutdoors thanks for the reply! I just ordered one. I wasn’t sure about it but after watching your video I decided to go for it.

@@geoffs1683how did the quilt end up doing for you?

[@geoffs1683]

@@ventinals3440I really like it, I have the regular length and with the stuff sack I have for it the weight is just over 500g. I’ve had it down to 0 degrees C and it’s very warm. It’s been good for me. Lofts up nice every time, almost no feather loss.

@@geoffs1683 Thank you! 👍

[@juanmanuelasin]

Hola nose si tuviste la oportunidad de conocer el saco aegismax ultra future 10d y si tenes algúna opinion de ese saco vs el summit. Gracias estoy entre uno u otro.

[@mennopieters3512]

I have just orderd mine and received it with a 150 gram overfill option which they have so hoping to pinch out a couple more degrees out of it to get to hopefully about -10c comfort rating

[@mountainrunner1955]

overfill option? I have seen it only in regular 350g fill and lengthen 400g fill. where have you seen it?

[@mennopieters3512]

@@mountainrunner1955 you can ask them about it for the option on the Twilight quilt to get the overfill was only 15€ for 150 gram overfill i wanted to squeeze a couple more degrees out of it to hopefully match it with my underquilt rating of -12 high comfort and -17c low comfort have since tested it at -8c and was very very warm hope we get another cold spike this winter for some more outdoor testing

[@DV4a1]

Hey, thanks for your review! As you mentioned your son: So you have any recommendation for a sleeping bag for children?

[@loganfishbeard]

I got him a used big agnes wolverine. Kids are honestly pretty easy though for sleep situations. Both of mine tend to sleep in little balls so just about anything keeps them warm. Don't get them a fancy UL pad though, they will pop it(ask me how I know). After two years of camping with them, my "kid essentials" list has distilled down to bringing extra clothes for when(not if) they get wet, and packing in the entire snack section of your local grocery store. They always amaze me at how well they thrive in the woods.

[@ethanmenoni918]

Mine came with a horrible wet dog smell. Anyone else? How do I get rid of this?

[@12a5truong4]

Hello, does it leak down? I just bought their new sleeping bag model called Dusk, this model using too thin fabric so it leaked so much down, and they offer me exchange Dusk to Twilight quilt.

[@dinomaskot90]

Did you exchange it? And how do you like Dusk/Twilight?

[@kenshinlevgb3538]

hello how much comfort for 4 seasons?

[@britrowland6148]

Would you say this would be a sold quilt for the AT starting April 17?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

It would be more than warm enough. I think you'll be sweating much above 50 degrees though.

[@Sayan_here]

When the new dusk review coming?

[@paulkilroy]

Do you know the difference between this and the previous wind hard?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

I saw that but didin't do any reaserch into it. I might have through baffles instead of box baffling.

[@guillaumevermaut5225]

maybe a video about the aegismax liners ?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

lol, that would be a short video. Fleece bag liners are all about the same(oz vs.oz). I dont rely on them to give me any extra warmth but they are clutch in the dog days of summer when you just want to sleep in your birthday suit but still contain your "hiker stink" to something you can throw in the wash with the rest of clothes.

[@ScoutATthruhiker]

Would this be adequate for the Appalachian Trail with a late April start date?

[@eastbynorthwestoutdoors]

It might actually be overkill as the temps warm up over there.

[@LetoAtreidis]

I don't get this product, lets make a quilt that doesnt have the advantage of a quilt (using as a blanket) but also doesn't have the advantage of the sleeping bag that is being covered from all direction, definitely a miss from Aegis max. I have their quilt and it's no way as warm as rated, each time i sleep on it I am cold.

[@Peeeeeew]

Just sleep IN it, not ON it - problem solved

[@kiwisGaming]

does the long size fit a couple?

[@fmrtn6910]

No, because footbox is stitched.

@@fmrtn6910 May I ask how tall you are and how the Regular version works for you? 175cm sounds so small for the Regular size.

[@fmrtn6910]

​@@julianuspfeuffer2427 I'm 178cm and there's some room, it should be enough for at least 180cm. The 175cm is the fabric size, the usable size is about 170cm. You need to measure from your feet up to your neck. The sizes between bags and quilts are not equivalent because the quilt covers only up to the neck/shoulders.
