So... After a section on the AT in November, I'm looking for options to cover warmer nights when my TQ is too much and base layer is not quite enough. Temps were warmer than I had hoped for most nights.
My TQ is a Katabatic Alsek 22°
I bought materials for a DIY Apex TQ, but it's about 12oz and takes up some real estate.
Taking both seems like overkill, but I would be willing to carry the weight(and bulk) if it meant better sleep on warm nights. I also thought in cold weather(below ~25°) I could double up with the Apex on the outside to protect my down from condensation.
Now I'm wondering if I could use the same concept but with a sleeping bag liner.
I'm not necessarily looking to increase the temp of my TQ, just want to have an option for when it's say above 50°.
Looks like I could get a liner anywhere from 6 to 9 ounces, and they pack pretty small.
If that seems reasonable, would silk give me enough warmth on its own? Silk/Cotton blend?(that kinda scares me) or a Thermolite?
Only concern there is the poly against my skin feeling clammy....?
I guess if I have my Merino Base Layer on maybe that wouldn't matter much.
