Hi Everybody,

I'm trying to decide between a 50F Operator Series quilt set or a 60F Recon series quilt set. If I had the money and closet space I'd buy both

My biggest problem is pack size, so that's the most important attribute to me.

Can anyone share photos or details to compare the pack size of the Top Quilts and Under Quilts?
I want to know how much smaller does a 60F Recon series Ghost Pepper top quilt pack than a 50F Operator series?
And how much smaller does a 60F Recon series Habanero underquilt pack than a 50F Operator series?

I'm deciding between getting the Recon 60F for extra space savings vs the 50F set for wider temperature range.
I currently have a WB 0F Wooki underquilt and a 20F Operator Series Ghost Pepper. These are way overkill for the Aussie summer.

Aussie Summer
The minimum temperature in most of Australia in summer is 12-15'C (53-59'F) or higher. But its often higher, like 18'C (64'F).
This is probably when I'll do the most camping and here I think the 60'F Recon could be worth it for the pack-savings.
I live in Sydney NSW, which is the bottom right state below Queensland and above Melbourne (the smaller island is Tasmania).
A lot of my camping is weekend trips in the Sydney region, but I would like to travel more, and I'm planning some trips.



Aussie Spring and Autumn
The minimum temperature in most of Australia in spring and autumn is about 9-12'C (48-53'F) or higher.
Here I'm thinking the 50'F Operator series set makes more sense than a 60'F Recon.



Aussie Winter
For completeness sake here is winter, the minimum temperature is generally 3-6'C (37-43'F) or higher where I'd use my 20'F TQ /0'F UQ instead.
Later I plan to get a 40'F quilt set as my 0'F UQ is still overkill.


Thanks everybody.
