Just in time for 2021's peak camping and scouting season, ALPS Mountaineering has introduced the Pinnacle Quilt. Based on a 20D 380T nylon shell and 600 Fill Power hydrophobic down fill, the Pinnacle Quilt is engineered to more comfortably accommodate diverse sleeping positions than a standard mummy bag, while ensuring heat retention and ventilation options. The quilt measures 32 inches across the top, 75-inches long, and weighs in at 1 pound 8 ounces.

An enclosed 12X12-inch foot box keeps feet warm by eliminating drafts in this critical area. The quilt’s tapered profile helps legs and hips also stay warm, while the expanded torso and shoulder area offers room for side-sleeping and multiple arm positions. For colder temperatures, an insulated chest baffle and drawstring top traps warm air inside, yet the quilt can easily be ventilated when cooler sleeping is required.

Included with the quilt is an adjustable retention system. This allows the quilt to be secured to a sleeping pad, preventing accidental uncovering when turning over or slipping off the pad when sleeping on uneven ground.

For more information on the Pinnacle Quilt, which is available in Charcoal/Red, rated for 35-degrees Fahrenheit and comes with a 6.5X15-inch carry bag, please visit alpsmountaineering.com. MSRP: $179.99

Hardware Review: Marlin Model 1895 Dark

If you think lever-action rifles should only have walnut stocks and a blued-metal finish, then the new Marlin Dark series with its polymer buttstock and aluminum AR-esque handguard probably won’t be your thing. That’s a shame, because this recent offering in Marlin’s line of modernized, capable lever-action rifles has a lot going for it in terms of performance, functionality and fun.
