I love my EE TQ. It is so toasty.

I got my revelation in a little under 5 weeks. It seems great!

I'm very satisfied with my 20* Revelation and will be testing my new 30* Revolt purchased from the garage sale very soon. The quality is top notch, but I'm unable to make a comparison with anything else except my diy down items. I'm certainly not married to EE, but it's hard to order from another company after getting such good quality items...and from what I read on the forums could feel the same way with any cottage shop here.

Great to see so many of us EE users and lovers.
Mine is over 3 yrs old. Its a 30 F Revelation, back then they used 750 fill. Recently I went on a hunting trip where there were no supporting trees so i slept on the ground. I found it COLD! Temps were a bit low, maybe down to 20 o r so. I took along my DIY UQ made from 2 1/2 oz climashield which I domed into the EE ( reading about this later I found out it should have gone on the outside due to dew point )
My exped synmat is only rated to 2.8 R so that probably didnt help matters.
It got me to thinking about getting it refilled though! or overfilled. Problem is I really like the weight ( or lack of it )

Seems you may have done a couple things wrong.
1 - Using a 30*F quilt in 20* temperature is asking for it unless you are a very hot sleeper. Comfort for cold sleepers would probably be 40*F. That 2.5oz climashield might give you another 15-20*F of comfort if it's like down and if it's sealed well against the EE (so I would expect only 10*F of real benefit).
2 - The 2.8-R value pad doesn't sound so great for 20* temperatures. IIRC, every 1-R is good for another 10* of comfort. Therefore, 2.8-R would give an additional 28* of comfort. If you can sleep down to 70* without a pad, then your current pad could keep you comfortable down to 42*F. Now, ground temperature may be warmer than air temperature by 10-20*F, so your pad may be comfortable down to 22* if you're a hot sleeper (70-28-20=22).

I could be wrong about all of this since I'm still learning a great deal. Making sense of all this non-comprehensive material and mix-matching information is quite confusing and exhausting...

Hope this helps you on your next trip though.

In response to the OP, if you go to Reddit there is a lot more talk about EE there. I've had the Revelation 20 on the ground many times, in temps from around 20 to 70, and can't say anything but good things. Now that I just bought a Dutch 11', I'll be getting one of their UQs as well.

Just bought a used EE revelation 20. I am worried it may be too hot for Florida winters but your comment has me feeling pretty good about it. What kind of pad were you using?

I have a klymit static v that is an air pad and a ccf pad.

I use a Thermarest Neoair Trekker. Has an R value of 3. I've used this into the low 30s, upper 20s. I've also used the same setup into the high 60s. If I got too warm I would just kick a leg and arm out until I cooled off a bit.

You could also try looking at Superior Repair. They have a pretty big stock.
