Robens Sleeping
Frequently asked questions
What is a camping quilt and is it warmer than a sleeping bag?
A camping quilt is an open sleeping bag without a back panel or hood — it works like a duvet, draping over you with the edges tucked under the mat. It is not necessarily warmer than a sleeping bag with the same fill weight, but it is lighter and packs smaller, because it removes the insulation underneath you that compresses flat and loses effectiveness anyway. The Robens Snowfall Quilt suits three-season camping and works best for those who sleep warm or want a lighter sleep system.
Do I need a sleeping mat as well as a sleeping bag?
Yes. A sleeping mat is as important as a sleeping bag for warmth at camp. The ground draws heat from your body far faster than cold air, and a sleeping bag alone provides almost no insulation beneath you because the fill compresses flat under your weight. The Robens Slumber Roll Pro Mat provides both cushioning and thermal insulation, with an R-value suited to three-season camping in Irish conditions.
What temperature rating does the Robens Snowfall Quilt have?
For the current temperature rating of the Robens Snowfall Quilt, check the product page, as specifications can vary between production runs. As a guide, it is designed for three-season camping and suits conditions down to around five degrees Celsius for those who sleep at an average temperature. Those who sleep cold should layer with a base layer or choose a lower-rated sleeping bag instead.
Can I use a camping quilt with a sleeping mat?
Yes — a mat and quilt are designed to work together as a system. The mat provides insulation from below, the quilt covers you from above. Tuck the edges of the quilt under the mat to prevent draughts. A sleeping mat with a higher R-value gives you more flexibility with a lighter quilt in colder conditions.
