    If you don’t mind, you can access the MassDrop EE Revelation Quilt by clicking my referral link:  https://www.massdrop.com/r/5YMNDJ

    MassDrop partnered with Enlightened Equipment to create a lower price version of a popular model. There is only one color: green exterior with a gray interior; however, there is an array of lengths and widths to choose from.

    Let’s try this again without coding…

    “Compared to the original EE Revelation, here are a few changes we’ve made:

    1) 15 denier fabric throughout, which we find to be the most desirable denier. It is a little more durable than 10d and a little lighter than 20d.

    2) 800-fill down. The cost premium for going to 850 or higher is significant in a 20 degree quilt or sleeping bag, and the weight savings is fairly small.

    3) An additional 5% of down fill, which is mainly to keep the down from migrating over years of use.

    4) Free shipping to US (ALL 50 STATES!!!) and discounted international shipping”

    Another difference is that this will be manufactured entirely in China versus being stuffed in the USA. It seems that the down is duck not goose. Also, the loft of this quilt is 2.5″–single layer.

    580 quilts are available for this MassDrop or for the next 17 days–whichever comes first. As of now, 203 quilts have been requested/ordered.

    Estimated ship date is December 22, 2017.

    I have the original release 20 degee one from last year, made in USA that I would be willing to part with, in perfect shape. I have decided that I am a mummy bag guy in shoulder season and a quilt guy in summer. PM me with an offer if anyone is interested.
