Five Basic Principles of Going Lighter (not me... the great Cam Honan of OZ)

Ahh, the Delaware Water Gap! The Army used that area for Jungle warfare training during the Viet Nam War, dontcha know.
Well I am probably too late to the party.extra ounce of down
Its not all about an ounce or two of down its baffle depth.
A 2" baffle vs a 3.5" there is a huge difference in warmth with the same fill.
When Marty Gallimore from Wilderness Logic, God rest his sole, and me designed this winter UQ we did not give it a temp rating.
It sports 3.5" baffles and 48 oz of down.
I would love to see single digits. My reaper has four ounces overfill and the lowest that I have gotten it too was 28°F with a slight breeze. I would love to see some "Shug" weather !
OutandBack - where's your favorite place in CO to take that monster?
Of course, I agree about baffle depth being much more important than overstuff - that's science! I was just saying that I thought George gave me an awful lot of value for the money. I think a *little* overstuff helps in humid conditions (maybe not such an issue at 0 degrees!), and I always seem to lose a little down over time.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who say there are two kinds of people, and all the others.
