I had high hopes for this weekend biggie but looks like we have to wait another couple weeks for the warm weather again...sigh
Well if anyone can put these to the test, it is you Canadians! I look forward to reading your results, and hope they are successful! Just don't forget: your frequent lows are well below the systems rating, so don't forget to add any available warm clothing not needed for wearing during sleep- add it down below the pad and all under the space blanket. This will provide a VERY significant boost, guaranteed! Why let unworn warm clothing go to waste? I always need to add something if I am going below freezing, though some do a bit better.
Bill way down in north MS ( where we have a big warm up to 70F today!)
I’ve been to -2C comfortably in mid October and combining it with my HG 20F underquilt got me to -15C that I’ve tested.
Is that in a sleeping bag ?
If you are asking me... I believe it was the following. for -2C I used 2 homemade Costco down TQ and medium fleece. For -15C, I used my HG 10 TQ, 1 homemade Costco down TQ and wore puffy jacket and pants and Marino wool base layer. I imagine a properly rated sleeping bag would be suitable also.
I received mine today. I ordered it on Valentine's Day, so that was really fast. We don't have the weather to try it though. I hope we get another cold spell before summer.
Been trying to figure out how to test this system, I was thinking of building a stand but decided to try it in the garage tonight. Non-heated garage, it's going down to -20 c tonight. My family thinks I'm completely off my rocker... maybe I am but I think it will actually be a good test for my first try.
I will let you know how it goes
