    They have not failed me as I have 0º UQs and TQs. I will double up my UQs and TQ's if needed in sub 0º.
    I still don't use a sock or top cover. I do like the pod method the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg7Q5Wqfgkk

    Re: Cold Weather Bugnet

    I think, for the weight, I would rather utilize an over cover. Just more effective at shedding that wind.

    This is just me speculating here, I have only been in the low 30s, but plan on changing that with my new warm quilts.

    I agree that the net helps hold in heat. Have you ever felt stuffy in it or a tent then got out and realized it is not that bad?
    Also I have used the bug net on tents to hold up a emergency blanket. This helped get me through a 20* but sub Zero windchill night and cut the wind leaking into my 3 season tent. I had 40mph gust that day and night. I was cold in my 15* with the E-blanet on top and had to much condensation . I had used the gear loft as a ridgeline but kept touching the wet blanket then just got out and slipped it between the fly and the bugnet.

    Cold Weather Bugnet

    I have also used only a TQ/UQ setup down to -3*. I have yet to have them fail on me.
