NZ HUNTER MAGAZINE Testfire
Owned by Debra and Cody Howell, long distance trampers with international experience, they manufacture their Ultralight gear here in little ol’ New Zealand. Tents, packs and quilts are their major offerings, and I have to say their lightweight DOC mattress-sized fitted sheet is a stroke of genius.
When I first encountered the concept of a quilt I thought they were for ultralightweight madmen, or Te Araroa trampers going between huts. Who would give up half of their sleeping bag?
However over the years, as I have appreciated the insulating qualities of quality sleeping mats, I have gained an equal appreciation of how much weight can be saved
