In this post, we’ll explore two ultralight gear items: the Otimos UL700 Down Quilt and the ASTA GEAR FENGYIN 2 tent. Both are aimed at backpackers  & wild camping lovers seeking lightweight solutions without sacrificing comfort.

So Why Is The Otimos UL700 Down Quilt So Popular?

The Otimos UL700 quilt is designed for ultralight backpacking, offering warmth and insulation through high-quality down filling. The lightweight down quilt balances weight with comfort, making it ideal for backpackers & wild campers looking to trim pack weight. The quilt is compressible, fitting easily into small backpacks, and performs well in mild to moderately cold conditions. However, it may not be the best choice for extreme cold without additional layering.
