Deb was so patient with all my questions and we often went back and forwards by email very late at night, she truly loves making quilts!
I purchased a Waratah -10 and used it for the first time last weekend. I can’t tell you how blissful it was to roll onto my side and bend my knee up, I was never able to do that in the confines of my sleeping bag. It is toasty warm and the collar flap makes it very cosy.
The quilt comes with a 10L dry bag, but I might end up buying a compression sack to reduce the bulk.
Looking forward to being warm on winter bushwalks now, thanks Deb!

Thank you for your quick response, Deb 🙂 I really appreciate your kindness and for answering all the questions I had. I’m so looking forward to my upcoming camping trips ⛺

I also didn’t realise my quilt has a top flap — such a great surprise! It keeps the drafts away and makes it extra cosy. I used to have one on my Nemo sleeping bag but had to return it due to a quality issue, so I’m thrilled to have it back again with this quilt.

The only minor thing is that I didn’t expect the strap to be white. It might get dirty quicker, but since it’ll be tucked under my pad, it’s no big deal 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks again for the quality craftsmanship. I can’t wait to take it out and use it! ♥️

I’m absolutely over the moon with the custom sleeping bag Deb from Dark Moon Hiking made for me. 🌙✨

From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the whole process, answering every question, and making sure the final product was exactly what I needed. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and it feels like an amazing investment into my hiking kit that I’ll be relying on for years to come.

If you’re considering getting a custom bag, I can’t recommend Deb enough. I’m already thinking about ordering a summer bag from her next!

Thank you, Deb, you’ve truly outdone yourself.

Amazing quality. I used my -10 Waratah quilt for the first time on the Glenelg river and I’ve never had such a good nights sleep out hiking in the winter months. Highly recommend!

Deb is awesome to work with in designing a quilt and communication was great. I've used my summer-weight quilt for multi-day hikes in warm weather and for 'camping' in dorm-style accommodation when I've wanted to keep my luggage minimal and light. The quilt packs down so quickly and easily. I love the fact that I'm not paying for or needing to pack the additional length and insulation that isn't needed for a shortie like myself. I am looking forward to cosying into my tent in colder temperatures with my new -10 quilt when I attempt the overland in Spring when snow is still possible.
