    There’s a few variables here that can affect things.
    1. The general rule on loft (meaning the measurable depth/thickness of the baffle) is 1/2” for every 10F, starting with 1” for 50F, 1-1/2” for...

    Wooki is a good option from Warbonnet, and you may be able to get a custom one made in that timeframe. I’d contact them just to check on lead times, and to see if they have anything in stock that has...

    I will say I’ve never regretted having more insulation than necessary, but certainly less, so if you’re going to err on one side, that’s the side I’d err on, whatever that temp rating is, 30, 20, etc.

    When you say that you easily get cold when it's warm and windy, do you mean without any insulation underneath? You're already losing body heat without any insulation, some people get cool even in...

    I have a dark red one and was originally concerned that it would look like Christmas with the rest of my first green set up, but it is a more subdued tone, definitely more Red Rocks than Red Robin....

    I sounds like you may be overly insulated and getting condensation buildup in your clothing or insulation. If there's moisture in either that is touching your skin, that can lead to a hypothermic...

    I would say if you're buying from the cottage vendors, their temperature ratings are more comfort, not survival, because they're actually thinking we might use their quilts at those temperatures....

    Shrewd, could you be more specific on what you used? I'm curious for my own sake and for the thread if you used treated down or not, full or 3/4 UQ, weights. If you haven't posted about it already,...

    Congrats on the new set-up. I kept mine the same color and haven't had any issues (yet) with sitting/laying on the wrong one, but my main set-up is just different shades of green and the hammock and...

    It is easier to launder and adds a little bit more breathability in your bag, and if you're already comfortable with liners it's a helpful addition. However, if you haven't used a liner before and...
