1. The empty pockets do not add a great deal of insulation.
2. The seams between the pockets offer no insulation even with pads in place.
3. To fill the pockets with enough gear to provide a decent amount of insulation would require more gear than I would probably want to carry.
4. An underquilt is desirable but limits access to the pockets.
5. An additional pad covering the seams (with Z-liners in the pockets) would solve the problem of cold spots.
So...it seems that as far as bottom insulation goes, the Clark and the Warbonnet are about even.
Thanks for the responses - any more experience or information is certainly welcome.
