The Hotcore Hero 2 Ultralight Quilt is a minimalist down quilt engineered for thru‑hikers and gram counters who want a versatile, low‑weight sleep system that performs across a range of temperatures. The Hero 2 is rated with a comfort of +2°C and a limit of -4°C, and it’s designed to be used with an appropriately warm sleeping pad to achieve its listed warmth.
Hero quilts are built to be used open as a blanket or closed at the foot for a cocoon shape, eliminating a full zipper to save weight and increase packability. Elastic straps are included to secure the quilt to a sleeping pad, and the design intentionally relies on the pad for up to 40% of the system’s warmth; so pairing the quilt with an appropriate pad is essential for real‑world performance.
