Full Zenbivy System or Piece Together?

[passinggas33]

Do you or does anyone else know if Zenbivy uses baffles or sewn through construction? From their site I believe they use baffles but couldn’t tell for sure.

I don’t. Sorry. I haven’t looked at their quilts in a while.

My 10 degree light has baffles

Some relevant posts on the zenbivy quilts from the zenbivy or argali thread.

What makes you say “better”?

I have SG, EE, FF, and one or two more quilts but I don’t remember which brands. The Zen Bivy is the best/warmest of them all.

Thank you. Just wondering as I’ve heard/read that a few times from people, with the meaning that the Zen Bivy isn’t as good of quality, and I’m not seeing it.

I haven't gotten to try the zenbivy in any cold weather, but the 25* Muscovy ultralight is incredibly lightweight. I too was debating sticking loops on a 15ish degree USA made quilt from Backpacker brand Y for colder weather trips but decided to just get the zenbivy 10* instead and be done with it. At sale prices it's comparable enough and it's designed exactly for the system, though I do think sticking loops on another brand quality quilt would work 100% as well.
I went with the flexair pad and limited nights use so far but it's the most comfortable backpacking pad I've used. Haven't used a ton of them, but it's more comfortable than my thermarest hands down and it doesn't sound like a bag of chips. If I really need to count ounces, or need the R value the Xtherm is OK, but the flexair is worth the extra weight to me in most cases.
