Description
The Summit Backpacking Blanket takes a simple, no-frills approach to backcountry insulation. Whether you're backpacking, hammock camping, attending an outdoor event, or building a layered sleep system, the Summit provides lightweight, versatile insulation that can be configured to match your specific needs.
Unlike a traditional top quilt, the open blanket design offers greater flexibility while still allowing several options to improve warmth and reduce drafts.

- Fully customizable dimensions
- Choice of Argon 90 or Ion shell fabrics

- Optional attachment loops, collars, and footbox configuration

If a head-end collar is selected, an additional set of loops with a snap closure is included to help secure the collar around the neck.
