Was camping with our scouts this weekend and temps were forecast to be in the mid-40s overnight, so I brought along my 40* JRB Shenandoah top quilt. We were near a smallish lake and there was a bit of wind, so at least the perceived temps were lower than forecast. I have a cheap (was under $5?) "synthetic silk" (aka: nylon) sleeping bag liner that I usually bring with me as a little extra insurance. I tried putting that inside the JRB quilt, but didn't see much difference. Then, I put it around the top quilt and it did a great job of blocking the wind (the Shenandoah is a sewn-through, non-baffled quilt).
This liner weighs about 6 ounces (5 without the stuff sack), so it's not much of a weight penalty, but I was thinking of looking around for something similar in size/weight (or having one made) but with some degree of wind/water resistance.
