Together, the hood and wings of the sheet create a draught shield. Attaching your quilt to the draught shield keeps it "tucked" at your sides to block draught and guides the corners of the quilt into the hood to seal in warmth around your neck and shoulders.

The sides of the draught shield function as hinges, allowing the quilt to move freely, expanding and settling naturally while keeping the quilt from falling off the mattress. This unique design instantly gives you space when you need it and the ability to wrap the quilt snugly around you when you want it.

Traditional camping quilts have a drawstring running the full width of the quilt. When cinched, it’ll shorten, lifting the sides and letting in draughts. The baffle-backed Kylie-curve™ cinches only the centre of a Zenbivy quilt, leaving either side loose to drape around you or tuck into the hood to block draughts around your shoulders.

We designed our quilts for thermal efficiency, distributing the down fill to provide the most warmth where it's needed, with smaller baffles to minimise downshift. We focus primarily on keeping the heat at your core and feet, but provide ample insulation in every chamber for consistent warmth.

Traditional camping quilts are commonly hourglass in shape, creating a pinch point that causes the quilt to grab and twist as you move. Zenbivy quilts are semi-rectangular, providing you the space and freedom to move naturally—without constriction.

Unlike a traditional backpacking quilt + straps combo, Zenbivy sheets feature an integrated hood to insulate your head. Sheets are available in insulated styles for full mummy bag warmth or uninsulated styles for use in warmer weather or to line with a down jacket.

The sheet's integrated hood features built-in headboard clips that attach to your Zenbivy pillow to keep it from sliding off the mattress, just like your headboard at home.

20D fabrics are much softer than traditional ultralight technical fabrics while being only a fraction heavier. They’re buttery-smooth, comfortable, durable, and worth the minuscule weight penalty. 

Built for performance, our premium 800 fill-power HyperDRY™ down from ALLIED Feather + Down uses a natural wax-based compound to make it water-resistant. It is durable, fluorocarbon-free, and RDS (Responsible Down Standard) compliant.

Our colour-coded clip closures are nearly weightless, proven draught-free, and practically disappear when you're using the quilt on its own.
