Zenbivy Lite 10° XL. I have done the full evolution of rectangular, mummy, quilts, etc. used heavily to way below 0° F. The Zenbivy lite system in 10° and XL is the best sleep system on the market.
In what way? Longevity? Warmth perforance/comfort against their claims? Warmth to weight ratio?

All?

It’s the most comfortable sleep system on the market. I don’t say that lightly. It is every single good thing about a quilt, with absolutely none of the drawbacks. Extremely warm, you stay on top of the pad at all times, zero drafts; your head has a head box for your pillow so it doesn’t move around, and it keeps your head warm. Can vent and use like a common quilt, or strap it in and it’s like a comforter at home- there is a massive amount of room in it; you do not get tangled up.


The only thing that is a drawback is if you get one too small. If you are over 5’6” or more than a string bean- get the XL.

I echo all of this. I sleep way better than my heathen hunting buddies who don’t use the Zenbivy Lite 10* XL he’s describing.

Form has also clearly taken this into cold enough temps to vouch for the 10* but for anyone who is concerned about the temp rating or is a cold sleeper I noticed they recently released a -5* system. And for those more concerned about weight, they have an ultralight system now too

I’ve slept in the 10* down to zero without a heated bottle and been plenty fine. I pair it with an Exped U7 and it’s toasty.
