The third generation of Gramjakt's popular quilt is here - V3 - an even more elaborate version of an already appreciated quilt for ultralight adventurers. The quilt's improvements make it the most comfortable, functional and well-insulated version yet - without compromising on weight.
The design for this quilt was developed by us at Gramjakt in Umeå, with a clear goal: to create a quilt that really works - in the Swedish mountain climate. From the first sketch, we have been based on the needs of reality, with close contact with hikers who have completed the Green Band and other long-distance hikers who know what recurring sub-zero temperatures mean in practice.
We have never compromised on warmth. That's why the Gramjakt UL Quilt -6 V3 is filled with 516 grams of high-quality RDS-certified duck down that really delivers even when it's cold, windy and damp for several days. We know moisture finds its way into any system - but with more down, better baffle construction, and a quilt that's more resistant to cold, we've created a sleeping system that continues to keep you warm when you need it most.
All our quilts are built with the same basic idea in mind: a generous width and shape that works for all types of sleepers - back, stomach, side - without creating gaps along the sleeping surface. The extra width also allows greater freedom of movement without losing warmth.
Every time we've made an update, we've improved the design, little by little. And with this year's version, V3, we've taken another leap forward - with better durability, more technical heat management and smarter details. This is our best quilt yet. Developed in the real world. Tested in the real world. And ready for your next trip.
Why are our quilts slightly heavier than some competitors?
Our quilts are generally both longer and wider than many comparable models of the same size. For example, an EE quilt in size Reg/Wide is about 192 cm long, while our equivalent model is 194 + 16cm draft collars. The extra size provides better comfort and more room for movement.
We also use slightly more down, both to improve warmth and to create effective draft collars that reduce heat leakage.
One important detail is the draft collars. Many quilts on the market state their weight without draft collars, while our quilts have two integrated draft collars. This gives better thermal efficiency but of course affects the weight slightly.
In summary: our quilts are bigger, better insulated and more heat efficient than many comparable alternatives - and despite this, they are still very low in weight in relation to the heat they deliver.
Our production costs are high - deliberately so.
We don't compromise on materials, labor or quality.
What sets us apart is the structure around the product. Traditional brands often work through multiple sales channels - agents, distributors, wholesalers and retailers - creating both cost and distance between design decisions and the end customer.
We have chosen a simpler route.
Through direct sales and a scaled-down organization, we can put our resources where they make the biggest difference: in materials, design and long-term product development.
Everything we do is based in Umeå, Sweden - from the first sketch to the finished product.
Production without compromise.
No unnecessary steps.
Only quilts built to perform - everywhere, for a long time.
