Hello friends!
I'm looking for my first underquilt for long forest walk abouts in spring, summer and autumn. I'm in Europe (Croatia to be precise) so I'm basically limited to Cumulus underquilts, which is fine by me as they have a good reputation.
As I wont be going out when it is really cold, the two smallest ones they do seem best, both are 3/4 length (180cm), one has 250g of 850fp down and the second 120g. Cumulus state comfort rating of 2c for the 250 and 9c for the 120.
I'm worried that either the 250 would be too warm for summer or the 120 too cool for spring and autumn. I've never slept before with an underquilt so it's all guessing.
Does anyone have any advice on which would be the most versatile option? Is it feasible to just loosen off a thicker UQ in the summer months and use a much thinner top quilt/bag to prevent boiling over night?
Many thanks for any help,
Ed the Ted
