G'day Martha,

The Ember Eb3 has a sewn in footbox, with no zippers on the bagh at all. The current model EB3 quilt - Regular weighs 725g and has a 500g fill weight. Sea to Summit made a few changes to their range about 18 months ago.

G'day James,

The EB3 paired with an Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Mat should keep you warm and toasty in most Australian Winter conditions. You could for the EB2, however, you might find yourself cold if you're regularly camped out in winter. I'd personally go for the EB3 as you can always stick your feet out to cool yourself down if you're a little too warm.

G'day Mike,

I've given the experts at Sea to Summit a buzz and double-checked for you. The Ember Quilts are really designed to pair with the tapered style mats. You can use them on a rectangular pad but the bag will just sit on top of the mat, rather than with the mat tucked into it.

G'day Annette,

At this stage, I've only got anecdotal feedback to go on as we don't have any written reports, or reviews online. I've spoken to maybe one or two customers and so far the reports are good and that the new lighter weight fabric doesn't have durability issues.

G'day Annette,

All of the baffles on the Ember Eb3 are box baffles.

G'day Sam,

Great question! Unlike the 2018 version the current Ember Quilt opens out completely flat.  When wrapping around your mat, the foot cinches shut with a draw chord, and the back partially closes with press studs and straps.  Hope that helps, cheers.

G'day Patti,

The Ember EB3 Quilt should be ok for the Overland Track in spring or autumn. We'd recommend pairing it with a well-insulated mat, the Sea to Summit insulated airsprung mat range are great. The Ether Light XT Insulated and Comfort Light Insulated mats popular options.   

G'day Jo,

This is a brand new model Ember Eb3 Quilt so it's hard to give advice based on experience as we've not actually seen these in the flesh yet. We haven't heard any issues with the previous models, so we'd dare say there shouldn't be any issues unless there is something abrasive in the tent. My best suggestion would be to make sure you keep the tent clear of sand or dirt which cause abrasion.

G'day Matt,

There is a drawcord on the top of the Ember Eb3 Quilt so you can cinch it up around the neck. As the quilt wraps around your mat the amount you can cinch it in will be dependent on your mat and shoulder width too.
