Palisade vs Sawatch
Review
Why the Katabatic Gear Palisade?
After really getting into hiking and wild camping, I wanted to dramatically reduce the weight and size of my pack for my upcoming Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike in 2019, so I wanted a quilt which was ultralight, packable, warm for its weight and I spared no expense. I found out about Katabatic Gear after watching John Zahorian’s youtube videos about what he packs for a sub 10lb base weight and the Palisade was part of his kit list. I took the financial plunge and purchased it and I literally wouldn’t buy a quilt from another company unless I had to for many reasons. I recently upgraded to their Sawatch quilt for the PCT this year in 2020, find out why.
