Enlightened Equipment

Enlightened Equipment is an ultralight backpacking gear company based in Winona, Minnesota, specializing in custom sleeping quilts and insulated apparel. Known for their exceptional warmth-to-weight ratios and quality craftsmanship, they've become a favorite among long-distance backpackers and thru-hikers. Their flagship products include the Revelation and Enigma sleeping quilts, which offer customizable temperature ratings, fill weights, and fabrics. Unlike traditional sleeping bags, their quilt design eliminates excess material underneath the sleeper, reducing weight while maintaining warmth. Enlightened Equipment also produces the Torrid Jacket, a synthetic insulated jacket that packs down remarkably small while providing serious warmth. All products are made with the highest quality ultralight fabrics, insulation, and hardware. The company maintains strict quality control and craftsmanship standards at their Winona facility, ensuring each product meets the demands of serious outdoor enthusiasts.
