Top Quilts
A top quilt is the open-back alternative to a mummy bag — no zipper to fight, no crushed insulation under you, less weight to carry. Use it over a hammock or on the ground. Jacks R Better top quilts run 850FP down with our Ion 1.1 shell, or 1000FP down / 10D (0.67 oz/yd²) on the ultralight models — summer to winter, hand-sewn in Pennsylvania.
Hanging one over a hammock? A top quilt covers you from above — you still need insulation underneath, because your body weight crushes anything you lie on. That is what a hammock underquilt is for, and running a top quilt and underquilt together is the warmest setup we make. Match your coldest night with the Hammock Underquilt Temperature Guide.
Want one quilt that does both jobs? Our multi-function quilts work as a hammock top quilt, an underquilt, a ground quilt or a wearable wrap.
