Recommended width for EE Enigma 20°

For 1 oz I’d go wider for the extra leeway. A quilt that is too small is unpleasant.  One that is a bit wider than absolutely necessary is a glorious luxury :)

Good point. Thx for the feedback.

I just bought a 20 degree Enigma. I got the long/wide. I’m a slim 6’ 3”, and the long only came in the wide version. Now that I have it and have tried it out, I’m glad it’s the wide.

Thx Tom for helping me with a “3 Bears” problem: choosing “not too heavy” and “not too small”, but “just right”!

Well it depends on how fat someone is   to be blunt. ….

If you’ve got a 32-in waist the regular size is more than adequate

If you’ve got a 40 inch waist….probably not…..

I’ve opened my puffy up and laid it on top of my upper body under my 20 enigma  quilt many times with no issue…… Now I leave my sides loose… I don’t use straps…. So I consider the quilt normally good to about freezing…. And into the upper twenties when I add my light puffy across my chest.     And that’s after I added 1.5 oz to the original quilt……. It’s ratings were a bit optimistic

I have tons of room in the body….. The real issue is towards the shoulders where it gets a bit tight when it snapped around your neck, that compresses the insulation there and makes it kind of a cold spot

If it’s under 25 I’ll bring it 10° quilt

I heard EE overstuffed their quilts 30%…

Lots say comfort limit is optimistic. I do like my Feathered Friends flicker better. Have  EE enigma 30 and a FF flicker 30. Both are great

Thx for your input. I don’t know much about FF. I’m new into backpacking…

I ordered the medium. Thx for the help!

Let us know what you think of it when it arrives. Did you get it with the neck baffle?

ordered neck baffle. Lead time for custom quilt is currently 3 weeks. I specified 7d inner and outer. My 1st custom anything!
