The BANDIT XL is our widest version available of our standard BANDIT Quilt. Providing all the same great design features of the standard BANDIT Quilt but in a wider package. The BANDIT XL provides additional coverage for those that need it. The BANDIT Quilt is the Ultimate Backpacking Quilt! It is our hybrid cross-over quilt replacing our best selling Flight Jacket Quilt and providing many of the features from our High Performance RENEGADE Quilt.. Using construction methods from the Flight Jacket Quilt with the chamber layout of the RENEGADE Quilt we’ve created a well fitting affordable performance quilt.

Building off of previously established chamber designs, UGQ introduced the concept of isolated chambers on the torso and foot box. This baffle layout provides for zone filling of the quilt, allowing for additional down to be placed where it’s most needed to achieve MAXIMUM comfort and function. Using a combination of vertical and horizontal chambers the BANDIT XL Quilt will fit you like a glove. This unique concept pioneered by the RENEGADE Quilt provides for exceptional drape and avoids the traditional bridging of the quilt common with traditional left to right chambers.

The design, construction, ultralight fabrics, and UltimaDOWN 800/850/950 fill power downs all combine to make the BANDIT XL Quilt a true performance value.

All quilts are MADE TO ORDER and ship from our shop located in Jackson, Michigan, USA.

All BANDIT Quilts include a 40d Silpoly Stuff Sack

 

 

       

Features:

BANDIT VS RENEGADE

The RENEGADE is fully contoured and has a full differential which is not that common in traditional backpacking/camping quilts. Both of these add substantially to the labor required to make a RENEGADE. There are only a few other shaped/differential quilts we are aware of on the market all priced much higher than the RENEGADE.

With the BANDIT we wanted to bring some of the great features of the RENEGADE to a more cost effective quilt for those that do not need all the bells and whistles. The chamber layout which we first used on the RENEGADE almost three years ago provides for two things. First it provides better drape across the torso, and second it provides for better down management in the quilt overall. The vertical chambers on the torso allows the quilt to drop down on the user providing for less dead air space, the vertical chambers also prevent the down from shifting to the sides making for possible thin spots in the center. Both of those increase the efficiency of the quilt over a traditional quilt.

SHELL CONSTRUCTION

We use our M10T, MRS10 or MRS20 fabrics for the outer shell of our BANDIT Quilts. MRS10 and MRS20 both provide an excellent compromise between ultralight weight, durability, and DWR finish without sacrificing breath-ability. M10T is used for our inner shells because of its superior finish and satin feel. For those seeking the lightest possible finished product, M10T is the best option for both inner and outer shells when weight is of utmost concern. For a more durable outer shell MRS10 is the perfect combination of wgt and durability while MRS20 will provide for maximum durability.  M10T, MRS10 and MRS20 fabrics have been given exceptional ratings in independent testing by the International Down and Feather Laboratory (IDFL).

The down-filled chambers on the torso section of the BANDIT Quilts run vertically (top to bottom), providing exceptional drape, which means that the quilt will lie close to your body, resulting in better thermal performance. Gaps between your body and the inside of the quilt are hard for your body to heat; the efficient draping of the BANDIT eliminates almost all of this dead air. The chamber design of the BANDIT’s foot box allows for a variety of options with a snug, efficient fit.

Each down chamber is constructed using Ultralight Nano-mesh baffles between the chambers to allow for maximum loft. This also enables thermal convection between the chambers. The vertical design of the torso chambers allows for heat transfer between your core and extremities. The size of the inner chambers varies from 4-5″, resulting in less down shifting than other larger-chambered designs.

The location of each Nano-mesh baffle is integral to the function of the quilt. Using advanced design and construction, the down is concentrated in those areas that need it most. This functional approach results in a quilt with maximum warmth for minimum weight.

OVERSTUFF OPTIONS

If UGQ already uses 130% of the necessary down in its regular quilts, why would YOU consider over-stuffing with additional down? We do over-stuff to 130% (included in the base price of all our quilts), but you may want to consider additional over-stuff if you are a cold sleeper. The extra down will help buffer the lower limits of the quilt, keeping you toasty-warm even beyond the lower limit. Another reason for ordering over-stuffing is when you expect to use your quilt for an extended period of time without access to laundering. The additional down will help to retain the performance of the quilt between washings.

We offer two types of over-stuff:

OVERSTUFF – This option is evenly distributed throughout the entire quilt including the foot box buffering the down in each chamber evenly.

FOOTBOX OVERSTUFF – This option is evenly distributed in just the bottom horizontal chambers of the quilt helping boast the foot box rating a few degrees.

FOOT BOX OPTIONS

The BANDIT-XL Quilt offers three foot box styles: Zipper w/Draw; Boxed Flat Sewn; or Insulated.

For maximum versatility, choose the Zipper w/Draw option, which allows you the choice of laying the quilt out fully open, creating a partially-closed foot box for ventilation, or fully closing the foot box for colder weather use. This option is available at no additional cost.

For simplicity and additional warmth – at the sacrifice of versatility – choose the Boxed Flat Sewn option. This style does not have the zipper or draw-cord of the previous option; rather the foot box is simply sewn shut then shaped into a “Box”. This option will reduce the weight of the finished product by approximately 0.25oz, and is an add-on at additional cost.

The Insulated Foot Box provides a full and continuous insulation envelope for your feet, making for some very HAPPY TOES!!! This style provides the ultimate in warmth for cold weather quilts. This option will increase the weight of the finished product by approximately 1.25oz, and is an add-on at additional cost.

TAPER OPTIONS

The BANDIT XL Quilt is available in two taper options, either a Full Taper or a No-Taper. The shape of the quilt will impact its coverage, weight, and thermal efficiency.

Full-Taper: When fully opened and lying flat, there is a gradual taper from the head end to the foot end along both sides. This style has better thermal efficiency and lighter weight, but provides less coverage and a smaller foot box than no taper quilts.

No-Taper: When fully opened and lying flat, this shape forms a rectangle, with the head and foot ends being equal. The advantage of this style is that it provides maximum coverage and maximum foot box space, but at the disadvantages of increased weight and slight loss of thermal efficiency. This option also includes additional down as need to offset for the increased quilt volume to maintain temp rating.

This option will increase the weight of the finished product by approximately 1.25oz, and is an add-on at additional cost.

Dynamic Tension Control System (DTCS)

 

The DTCS is a set of two adjustable elastic webbing running lengthwise along the left and right edges of the quilt in the torso. This elastic webbing is completely concealed in the edge detail of the quilt for a clean appearance and comfortable sleeping experience.

On colder nights you can tension the elastic webbing to compress the edges of the quilt and draw them under you, this has the effect of the quilt giving you a gentle hug and helping to seal out the cold night air. When used in conjunction with the pad strap system it also provides for a better seal between the quilt and your sleeping pad. When used in a hammock the DTCS will help keep the sides of the quilt tucked and drafts out. During warmer weather conditions you can completely loosen the elastics to allow you to use the quilt as a down blanket.

This option is available at an additional cost.

ULTRALIGHT FABRICS

M10T is our ultralight 10-denier breathable, calendared DOWNPROOF taffeta nylon.  Our M10T was developed to be a great all-around UL fabric that offers excellent wind/water resistance, has an incredibly soft hand feel, and is highly down proof (both in lab tests and in field use) all at a great price point.  It has a finished weight of only 0.66 oz/yd2, making it one of the thinnest/lightest taffeta nylon fabrics on the market. M10T has a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish applied to the face side of the fabric, protecting you and your down from environmental moisture. M10T has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). M10T is best suited for the inner shell of a quilt and the outer shell of a quilt for those looking for the lightest possible quilt but at the sacrifice of some durability.

MRS10 is our ultralight 10-denier breathable micro-ripstopped, calendared DOWNPROOF nylon.  Our MRS10 was developed to be a great all-around UL fabric that offers excellent wind/water resistance, has an incredibly soft hand feel, and is highly down proof (both in lab tests and in field use) with increased durability of our M10T.  It has a finished weight of only 0.74 oz/yd2, making it one of the thinnest/lightest 10-denier ripstopped nylon fabrics on the market. MRS10 has a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish applied to the face side of the fabric, protecting you and your down from environmental moisture. MRS10 has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). MRS10 is best suited for the outer shell of a quilt for those looking for the lightest possible quilt but with increased durability over our M10T.

MRS20 is our ultralight 20-denier breathable mirco-ripstopped, calendared DOWNPROOF nylon. It has a 20-denier nylon thread woven into a micro-ripstop pattern, resulting in an exceptionally strong fabric with a finish weight of only 1.1oz/yd2. MRS20 has a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish applied to the face side of the fabric, protecting you and your down from environmental moisture. MRS20 retains a high level of breathability, allowing moisture from your body to pass through the quilt, preventing excessive condensation inside the down chamber. MRS20 has excellent color depth, giving your quilt a rich, luxurious look and feel. MRS20 has the softest feel of all our outer shell fabrics including HD1.0. MRS20 is an excellent combination of weight, durability, and value. MRS20 has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). MRS20 is the best overall outer shell fabric for weight, durability, and down proof score.

OutdoorINK® fabrics are our line of lightweight custom printed patterns on a 20d 1.1 oz breathable, double-calendared polyester micro ripstop (MRS20-P) with DWR applied. Like M10 nylon taffeta, these fabrics combine breathability, wind/water resistance, and exceptional down proofing with the softest hand feel on the market. To make OutdoorINK® fabric, we start with a custom woven, 20d 1.1 oz/yd2 fabrics high thread-count polyester base material with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. In addition to adding durability, this reduces moisture absorption compared to a nylon base. MRS20-P has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). MRS20-P is the best overall outer shell fabric for weight, durability, down proof score for those looking to have a unique printed quilt.

PRYM1® Patterns are digitally printed using the same process as OutdoorINK® on a 20d 1.1 oz breathable, double-calendared polyester micro ripstop with DWR applied. This fabric is DOWNPROOF  and suitable for use in down gear/projects. Similar to 1.1 oz ripstop nylon, but with less stretch, increased UV resistance, and a micro-ripstop grid pattern. MRS20-P has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). MRS20-P is the best overall outer shell fabric for weight, durability, down proof score for those looking to have a unique printed quilt.

HEXCAM® Patterns are digitally printed using the same process as OutdoorINK® on a 20d 1.1 oz breathable, double-calendared polyester micro ripstop with DWR applied. This fabric is DOWNPROOF  and suitable for use in down gear/projects. Similar to 1.1 oz ripstop nylon, but with less stretch, increased UV resistance, and a micro-ripstop grid pattern. MRS20-P has received a 5 out of 5 score on the International Rotating Box Down proof Test (a score of 3 is considered average). MRS20-P is the best overall outer shell fabric for weight, durability, down proof score for those looking to have a unique printed quilt.

Made To Order quilts and tarps ordered with OutdoorINK®, PRYM1®, or HEXCAM® are not returnable unless due to an error on our part or a defect with the product.

OUR DOWNS: Ultima800DD / Ultima850GD / Ultima950GD

Our BANDIT Quilts allow you to choose from three types of down: Ultima 800 fill power duck down; Ultima 850 fill power goose down; or for even lighter weight and superior performance in severe conditions, Ultima 950 fill power goose down. The combination of our DWR shell materials and UltimaDOWN will give you the perfect balance between moisture control and breathability. All our down is third party tested and certified for fill power, down content, species, and cleanliness. Learn more about down testing and standards HERE

Our commitment to using Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified down means that the whole story of the down we source is monitored by the independent and highly respected Textile Exchange. With the rigid standards of the RDS, you can be confident that the down in your UGQ product is not only the highest quality available, but was also ethically sourced from humanely treated animals. Each phase of down sourcing is monitored and audited every year. Paired with tracing capabilities, the origins of down have never been more transparent. Learn more about the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) HERE

UltimaDOWN is not a hydrophobic treated down. Although we have offered hydrophobic treated down in the past, we have weighed the benefits vs. drawbacks carefully, and have recently stopped offering WR down. The benefits, which are marginal at best in real world scenarios, are offset by lower loft, intra laundering clumping, and the need for more down to offset the lower lofting and possible clumping. Effective April 11, 2016, we will no longer use hydrophobic down in our products.

PAD ATTACHMENT SYSTEM

The BANDIT and XL BANDIT quilts are available with three possible options for use on a ground pad.

NONE PROVIDED

No connections provided, best for hammock use or very experienced quilt user to reduce drafting. This provides the lightest possible quilt but at the risk of increased drafting.

ULTRALIGHT

System includes three sets of loops along each side of the quilt and a single strap using 3/32” shock cord and toggles for connection. This provides a functional connection at the lowest possible weight.

This option is available at an additional cost.

WGT: 0.4oz /11g

DELUXE

System includes three sets of wafer clips along each side of the quilt, a single continuous 1/2” elastic strap loop with wafer clip connections, and a single 1/2″ elastic flat strap. If your quilt is wide enough to fully encircle you the wafer clips on the quilt can be fastened together to close the back of the quilt. Or the wafer clips on the quilt can be fastened to the continuous loop ½” elastic strap placed around your pad and the 1/2″ elastic flat strap placed under the user to provide an effective functional connection.

We recommend the 1/2″ continuous strap loop be attached to the center set of wafer clips on the quilt and the 1/2″ flat strap be placed on the bottom set of wafer clips on the quilt for best results.

This option is available at an additional cost.

WGT: 0.5oz/14g

    Recently took delivery of my Bandit XL, 60” 20 degree quilt with 1oz overstuff here in the UK. The quality of the product and the service from UGQ is second to none! I received superb advice from Paul throughout the ordering process and the extras like dynamic tension control and draft collar are fantastic additions. If you are thinking of making the switch to a quilt, this is the place to come! Thank so so much guys!

  • Paul kelly (verified owner) –

    Just recieved my new XL Bandit Quilt here in the UK, the workmanship these guys put in is unreal, I love my new quilt and can’t wait to use it, I went with the 0*F temp non -tapered, open footbox with draft collar and dynamic tension control, i also got the colour Khaki to match my beloved Hilleberg Soulo sand coloured tent. Thanks alot guys I will be ordering again!

  • Jonathan (verified owner) –

    I just received my Bandit XL and am very impressed with the quality and workmanship. It is everything I was hoping for. The draft collar and dynamic tension options were great additions. I am looking forward to adding some additional comments after 3 weeks in the High Sierra This August. This beauty (20 degree) should keep me toasty warm.

  • Nathan (verified owner) –

    I purchased a long, x-wide, no taper, 30 degree, 2oz overstuff. I have used this bag for a couple overnights and a week in Colorado. The first night in Colorado it was in the upper 20’s and the rest of the trip was in the 30’s. This bag was warm enough and very comfortable. I’m a stomach sleeper who tosses and turns. This quilt allows the freedom of movement that no sleeping bag can. I stayed warm and draft free using one pad strap. I love this quilt and won’t go back to a traditional bag.

  • Bob E. (verified owner) –

    Almost 52 and have been sleeping in mummy bags since about 10. I’m broad shouldered and decided I wanted a little more room. Ordered a Bandit Xl and couldn’t have been happier. I’ve had this for a year now and have been able to use it a few times. Best outdoor sleeping I’ve ever had. Comfort, warmth, lightweight and the quality is excellent. And plenty of room to move. Getting ready to order another.

  • Nick Dyer (verified owner) –

    Quilt quality is amazing. Customer service was top notch…I never write reviews, but this business has got it going on!

  • Kevin Smith (verified owner) –

    Chad and the UGQ crew were very easy to work with, I ordered a 10 degree 65x 78 950 fill quilt, and I couldn’t be happier, I’ve always been a sleeping bag kind of guy and for years have had big agnes sleep systems. I loved not sliding off the pad in the middle of the night but over the years the bags started to lose their loft and it was time for something else and hopefully lighter. I am very pleased to say that this is not only warmer but it helped shed over a pound in weight to my sleep system. Bonus I paid about the same price as my last big agnes bag and I can say this is definitely warmer.

  • Zachary D. (verified owner) –

    Love my xl bandit. Most backpacking equipment seems to be made for very tiny men, and I have no chance of fitting into a standard mummy bag, or even a standard quilt. I now finally have a high quality quilt that fits me. I am so happy with it. I also really appreciated the customization options when ordering. No one else offers these options. I honestly don’t know why anyone would buy a quilt from any place other than ugq.

  • Robert Scott (verified owner) –

    I’m new to camping quilts got great and prompt advice from Paul about customising for two person sizing and footbox etc, High Quality and exactly as ordered in the specified timeline. Thanks UGQ

The DTCS is a set of two adjustable elastic webbings running lengthwise along the left and right edges of the quilt in the torso. This elastic webbing is completely concealed in the edge detail of the quilt for a clean appearance and comfortable sleeping experience.


On colder nights you can tension the elastic webbing to compress the edges of the quilt and draw them under you, this has the effect of the quilt giving you a gentle hug and helping to seal out the cold night air. When used in conjunction with the pad strap system it also provides for a better seal between the quilt and your sleeping pad.


When used in a hammock the DTCS will help keep the sides of the quilt tucked and drafts out.


*During warmer weather conditions you can completely loosen the elastics to allow you to use the quilt as a down blanket.

The BANDIT and XL BANDIT quilts are available with three possible options for use on a ground pad.

 

NONE PROVIDED


No connections provided, best for hammock use or very experienced quilt user to reduce drafting. This provides the lightest possible quilt but at the risk of increased drafting


ULTRALIGHT


System includes three sets of loops along each side of the quilt and a single strap using 3/32” shock cord and toggles for connection. This provides a functional connection at the lowest possible weight. (please reference video under "VIDEOS" tab or click here.)


Single strap wgt: 0.4oz /11g

   

DELUXE



System includes three sets of wafer clips along each side of the quilt, a single continuous ½” elastic strap loop with wafer clip connections, and a single 1/2" elastic flat strap. If your quilt is wide enough to fully encircle you the wafer clips on the quilt can be fastened together to close the back of the quilt. Or the wafer clips on the quilt can be fastened to the continuous loop ½” elastic strap placed around your pad and the 1/2" elastic flat strap placed under the user to provide an effective functional connection.


We recommend the 1/2" continuous strap loop be attached to the center set of wafer clips on the quilt and the 1/2" flat strap be placed on the bottom set of wafer clips on the quilt for best results.

Overstuff Options

[decisiontree id="16509"]

 

*NOTE: These are general guidelines for overstuffing options. Be sure to select what will work best for your personal needs.

 

If UGQ already uses 130% of the necessary down in its regular quilts, why would YOU consider over-stuffing with additional down? We do over-stuff to 130% (included in the base price of all our quilts), but you may want to consider additional over-stuff if you are a cold sleeper. The extra down will help buffer the lower limits of the quilt, keeping you toasty-warm even beyond the lower limit. Another reason for ordering over-stuffing is when you expect to use your quilt for an extended period of time without access to laundering. The additional down will help to retain the performance of the quilt between washings.

We offer two types of over-stuff:

OVERSTUFF This option is evenly distributed throughout the entire quilt including the foot box buffering the down in each chamber evenly.

FOOTBOX OVERSTUFF This option is evenly distributed in just the bottom horizontal chambers of the quilt helping boast the foot box rating a few degrees.

TAPER OPTIONS

[decisiontree id="16498"]

 

The BANDIT Quilt is available in two taper options, either a Full Taper or a No-Taper. The shape of the quilt will impact its coverage, weight, and thermal efficiency.

Full-Taper: When fully opened and lying flat, there is a gradual taper from the head end to the foot end along both sides. This style has better thermal efficiency and lighter weight, but provides less coverage and a smaller foot box than no taper quilts.

No-Taper: When fully opened and lying flat, this shape forms a rectangle, with the head and foot ends being equal. The advantage of this style is that it provides maximum coverage and maximum foot box space, but at the disadvantages of increased weight and slight loss of thermal efficiency. We do recommend that you add an additional 5-8% over stuff to offset the increased surface area of the quilt when selecting No-Taper. You can use the following chart as a guide line for how much over stuff to add to your quilt if you select No-Taper.

FOOT BOX OPTIONS

The BANDIT Quilt offers three foot box styles: Zipper w/Draw; Boxed Flat Sewn; or Insulated.

Zipper: For maximum versatility, choose the Zipper w/Draw option, which allows you the choice of laying the quilt out fully open, creating a partially-closed foot box for ventilation, or fully closing the foot box for colder weather use. This option is available at no additional cost.




Boxed: For simplicity and additional warmth - at the sacrifice of versatility - choose the Boxed Flat Sewn option. This style does not have the snaps or draw-cord of the previous option; rather the foot box is simply sewn shut then shaped into a "Box". This option will reduce the weight of the finished product by approximately 0.25oz, and is an add-on at additional cost.




Insulated: The Insulated Foot Box provides a full and continuous insulation envelope for your feet, making for some very HAPPY TOES!!! This style provides the ultimate in warmth for cold weather quilts. This option will increase the weight of the finished product by approximately 1.25oz, and is an add-on at additional cost.

What is Fill Power?

Fill power is a measure of the loft or "fluffiness" of a down product that is loosely related to the insulating value of the down. The higher the fill power, the more air a certain weight of the down can trap, and thus the more insulating ability the down will have. In other words it will take less 950fp down to trap the same amount of air as the 800fp or 850fp. Thus resulting in an overall lighter product.
