I've been thinking of buying a costco down throw to add maybe 15 degrees to my current system. I'm in Georgia and a 20 degree system is good for most of the year but up in the mountains in the coldest part of winter the 20 degree top and bottom quilt I have wont quite do it.
Anyhow, I know a warm hat and socks and merino wool long underwear will give me 10 degrees but the question is what to expect from the costco down throw. I've been camping and backpacking for 45 years (many in upstate new york and PA in single digits) and know how to stay warm. But the costco down throw looks like a great deal to get me from 20 F to maybe 10F or even 5F. What has it done for you?
