I'm gettin ready to either make or buy my first underquilt. I'm looking at 3 options:
1. DIY 5.0 apex underquilt. $65 and 20 oz.
2. DIY underquilt.com shell and WL 850 down. $125 and 16 oz.
3. Buy hammockgear or wilderness logics quilt. $175 and 16-18 oz.
If I go with #1 I will be able to get a tarp sooner to replace my blue poly tarp. Either down quilt will get me to 20 instead of 30 with the apex. But I'm in the south so below freeze trips are rare. I am a lightweight weekend backpacker but I would have to go all in and sell my lightheart gear solong tent to finance a top of the line quilt set. Just looking for a little guidance.
