The Twilight is the trail quilt from Aegismax's Wind Hard line: 800 fill-power water-resistant down in a 10D ripstop shell, with no zip, no hood and no down underneath. The Regular has 350 g of down and a total weight of 589 g (maker's figures), packing to 15 × 27 cm.
An insulated collar cinches at the neck, the trapezoidal footbox keeps your feet enclosed, and elastic straps hold the edges to your mat. Aegismax gives EN ratings of comfort 0°C and limit −5°C. Regular or Lengthen, in green or white.
Mummy-bag warmth without the parts you lie on.
- Best for
- Three-season hiking and fastpacking, side sleepers who feel trapped in a mummy bag, and anyone cutting pack weight.
- Think twice if
- A quilt is only as warm as the mat under it: on frosty nights use an insulated mat with an R-value of 4 or more. In wind you will notice the open back more than in a mummy bag, and there's no hood, so bring a warm beanie. Aegismax doesn't publish the Twilight's length and width on its own site.
350 g of 800FP down
Most of the weight is insulation. A quilt carries no down underneath you, where your body crushes it flat anyway.
Rated to around freezing
Aegismax's figures are comfort 0°C and limit −5°C. Plan on frosty three-season nights, not snow.
Stays put on your mat
An insulated collar cinches at the neck, and elastic straps hold the edges to your mat to stop draughts.
Warm enough for your trip?
Plan on the “warm to” figure: the maker's comfort rating or, where their labels are unclear, the safest of their figures. If you sleep cold, or you're not sure, add 5°C. And if you're torn between two bags, take the warmer one: a bag that's too warm, you unzip; one that's too cold, you can't fix at 2 am.

bags and quilts are warm enough. They're sorted lightest first, so the top one is the lightest that will do the job.

Plan for the coldest night
Hills, valleys and inland camps get much colder than the forecast for the nearest town. Check the overnight low for where you'll actually sleep.
If in doubt, go warmer
Being too cold at night isn't just a bad night's sleep. A long, cold night in a bag that's too thin can tip into hypothermia, and there's no fixing it at 2 am.
The mat matters as much as the bag
Down underneath you is crushed flat, so the ground steals your heat. Below freezing, use an insulated mat with an R-value of 4 or more.
Help the bag help you
Change into dry clothes, eat something before bed, and wear a beanie. A bag holds warmth in, but it can't make it.

“Warm to” is the figure we plan on: the maker's comfort rating or, where their labels are unclear, the warmest figure they publish. Temperature ratings on this page are Aegismax's figures, stated as rated to the EN 13537 method, we have not seen the lab report. Brands like Sea to Summit pay for an independent EN/ISO 23537 test; these makers don't publish one. So compare on fill weight and fill power first: they're physical quantities. How to read them
Complete your sleep system
A bag is half of a warm night. Here's what else makes it work, and what people usually add.
-
Cotton Sleeping Bag LinerKeeps a down bag clean, and works on its own in huts and hostels.
-
Inflatable Camp PillowAn 85 g pillow that folds flat and stays put on your mat.
-
TuYe R8.8 Inflatable Sleeping MatNaturehike's warmest TuYe: an R-value of 8.8 (maker's figure) in a 12 cm air mat that packs to bottle size.
-
15D Ultralight Compression Dry SackSquash a down bag or quilt small, and keep it dry in your pack.
A mat rated for the season
The ground takes more heat than the air, and down underneath you is crushed flat. As a rough guide: an R-value of about 2 for summer, 3 to 4 for three seasons, and 5 or more on snow.
A way to keep it dry
Wet down stops insulating. Pack the bag in its compression sack inside a dry bag or pack liner, and air it out when you reach camp.
Questions
Regular or Lengthen?
Is it goose or duck down?
Which size should I buy?
Are the temperature ratings lab-tested?
Comfort, limit, extreme: which one do I use?
How do I store and wash a down bag?
When will it arrive?
Will my order arrive in one parcel?
Will I pay duty or GST on delivery?
What if it isn't right?
Three numbers, in this order
Most listings lead with a temperature and a price. Those are the two least reliable numbers on the page. Read these first.
- 1
Fill weight: grams of down
How much insulation is actually in the bag. A listing that hides it is hiding the cost of the product. As a rough guide for Australia: 400–500 g is a summer-to-shoulder bag, around 700 g takes you below freezing, and 1,000 g is for snow.
- 2
Fill power: 700, 800, 850
The quality of the down: how much it lofts per gram. Higher fill power gives the same warmth for less weight and a smaller pack. It doesn't mean warmer on its own: 300 g of 800FP down is still a summer bag.
- 3
Total weight and packed size
What you actually carry. Compare it with the fill weight: a bag with 700 g of down that weighs 970 g is spending 270 g on fabric and zips, which is about right for a 10D shell.
Temperature ratings come last, and only once you know who measured them. EN/ISO 23537 means an independent lab test. Every rating in this shop is the maker's own: Aegismax says it follows the EN 13537 method, and Black Ice and Naturehike don't say. The FAQ has the long version.
- Free shipping Australia-wideThe price on the tag is the price you pay. No duty or GST on delivery under A$1,000.
- Every number publishedFill and weight on every bag, R-value on every mat, packed weight on every tent, and a note wherever the maker's figures are unclear.
- 30-day returnsUnused and in its packaging. We pay the postage if anything is faulty or not as described.
