Hi there,
I'm trying to make that final decision on an UQ. I've got the temperature figured out, but not the length, and I'm wondering about down.
I'm 5'7.5" and have moments of laying out on my back, but then tend to turn onto my side for most of my sleep.
I'm really not interested in foot pads. So...
Using HG as an example, I've looked at the short (73"), which I know would cover me, but would it be worth it to go shorter, since I'm a side sleeper (not too tight)? And what would a good full coverage for a side sleeper look like? I'm a bit of a gram weenie, but I know warmth is not a good place to be cheap, therefore I really want to be realistic about this.
Figured this out: Also, I'm wondering about down. If I just went out for a weekend, or a week, no problem, but what about if I'm gone for 2 weeks to a month? Should I be concerned about the down maintaining it's loft? Keep in mind, as a through-hiker, I'm packing it up pretty much every day.
Thanks!
