Owhyee Top Quilt?

[bofadeez]

So I've got my CBS covered with an Arrowhead New River. It's a great Underquilt an it installed quickly and easily the first time I used it. I backyard tested my setup last weekend down to about 48 F. I used the New River and an old Lafuma Yellowstone 30 degree sleeping bag as a topquilt. I wore boxers and a T shirt and stayed warm all night. I'm having a hard time justifying another camping purchase for what is usually a once a year AT section hike. Next month I am doing Springer Mountain to Neels gap in late November and have some reservations about how warm I can stay around 30 F. I'm looking for advice from all of the members here that have experience camping in these types of conditions. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

In my opinion the Owyhee 3 season would fit your needs down to 30 F. I have been very happy with mine. It is a good value/budget option. It is just bulkier and heavier than down top quilts.

Ok That's good to hear. Thank You

If you have reservations about another purchase - just add a good fleece blanket inside your current 30F sleeping bag and/or wear more clothing to bed. A hat/hood and warm socks can work wonders in the 25F and up range.
