Collection: Enlightened Equipment

Enlightened Equipment is an ultralight gear brand based in Winona, Minnesota, USA. Founder Tim Marshall began sewing his own quilts for long hikes in the basement of his home, and full-scale manufacturing began in 2007. Under the motto "Ultralight. Straightforward. Affordable," the brand aims to offer lightweight, simple gear at affordable prices, stripped of unnecessary parts and featuring only the essential features. The brand is particularly known for pioneering the field of sleeping quilts as an alternative to traditional sleeping bags, and is known for its extensive lineup of quilts made with down and synthetic fibers. Representative models include the classic "Revelation" quilt, which can be precisely customized for different temperature ranges and sizes; the "Enigma," which offers excellent warmth thanks to its sewn-in footbox; and the two-person "Accomplice" quilt. Many of their products are handmade in the United States and are highly popular among through-hikers and UL-oriented backpackers. On this page, we sell Enlightened Equipment quilts, sleeping bags, and apparel as used outdoor gear.
