Hi folks, I was wondering if anybody had a long 10° Enlightened Equipment Enigma in a wide size and can stuff it in a reasonably sized stuff sack and then measure that stuff sack for me? I’m trying to see if I can fit one in my pack. 😂
Is the specs page for compression not helpful?
Oops. It doesn’t list wide sizes as you requested. However, it does show that a 14L stuff sack works for all lengths, as well as for 0°F versions, so the same is likely true of width. Down is pretty squishy…
Have you asked the manufacturer?
Ask the manufacturer how small I can stuff their quilt into one of their supplied sacks or ask actual users that no doubt have figured out something more realistic and no doubt smaller?😜
What exactly are you trying to figure out, David? You know that the range is somewhere between 9 and 14 liters, depending on how hard you want to squish it.
What else are you looking for?
I have the 10° Regular/Wide Enigma in 10D with 950 fill. With some work I can get it in a 8L Sea to Summit roll top bag and wouldn’t go lower than that. I typically carry it in a larger flat style roll top bag for better fit in my pack.
Thanks Erik.
Bill, I am looking for the length, width, circumference of it stuffed at its smallest
Erik’s report is exactly the same as EE’s chart for the Regular length quilt when compressed. I used the more generous 9L which is what they list as the compressed size for an Extra Long quilt.
Either way, dimensions are whatever you want, as long as they add up to 8-9 liters or less. You know, length x width x height for box-shaped, or 3 x radius x radius x length for cylinder shape (pi x radius squared x length). Down is squishy, so the shape doesn’t matter.
Did you already get a good answer. We have them in our shop and I could stuff one in a small bag and measure? Let me know.
Hi Bas, that would fantastic. I’m more concerned with the length as I would put it at the bottom of my pack horizontal.
