TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Enlightened Equipment v Neve Gear Quilt

Postby Aushiker » Tue 03 Dec, 2024 10:24 pm

I am looking for a quilt for my son in Autumn/Winter/Spring in Western Australia (there is no snow, but it can get cold in huts). Anyway, I am tossing up between an Enlightened Equipment Revelation 850FP -1 degree at $507 delivered or a Neve Gear Warratah [850 FP -2 degrees] at $350 [Found at Paddy's for $315]. I haven't been able to find a long in the Revelation locally, so I'm using the US pricing.


The question is whether the Revelation is worth the extra $192. Are there other alternatives worth considering?

The name is Neve not Nerve, and they make good gear. Definitely not worth the extra for the EE.
