    I think it's 1oz to 5º. So if I'm right, you have roughly a 30º UQ.

    Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I have the same setup. I've taken it down to 30°. But I since purchased a 20° UQ which I use instead if lows are forecasted to be that low.

    You're wrong. The Incubator is an UQ, not a TQ Ahhh, I'm just being silly with you, I knew what you meant.
    Back to the topic, I don't have this setup but considering the HG temp ratings are pretty conservative without overstuff, I wouldn't hestitate to take a 40º with 2oz overstuff to 30º, so I think you're right on.

    I have heard that an extra ounce of down will change temp rating by 4-5 degrees.
    But I think another of the benefits of overstuff is that it helps to reduce the ability for the down to shift, which should also help to maintain/improve the comfort.

    That's my main reason for adding extra. And without some overstuff, they just feel cheap IMO...not sure of the right word to describe it. Good peace of mind for an extra $15 or so.
