Gear Review: Mountain Laurel Designs Spirit Ultralight Quilt

There are times when I’m happy to carry a quilt that is way warmer than it needs to be. My 20°F quilt is darn near guaranteed to sweat me out if I tuck it tightly, but it is easy to drape it loosely, and I never need to worry about sleeping cold. However, sometimes I feel like that peace of mind isn’t worth the extra bulk and weight on my back. Sometimes all I want is the right tool for the job. The Spirit Quilt 38° by Mountain Laurel Designs is just that during the warmer months when the days are long, and the mountains are in their hiking prime.
