Ok, I realize this has been rehashed multiple times...
But here is my dilemma. I currently have a 20 degree HG Incubator short and a 20 degree HG Burrow. I am thinking about getting a partial length quilt to save space and weight. I always carry some form of a pad that would work for leg insulation anyway be it a foam campchair that lays out flat or a ridgerest or the pad from my Mountain Hardwear Thruway 50 pack. I live in Tennessee and I rarely camp in the super cold weather but could see it getting into the high teens at the lowest possible.
My question is this, should I go with the 3 season Yeti from Warbonnet or the 40 degree Phoenix from HG? I know that this seems like an odd combination, but they are within 1 oz of weight due to the Phoenix being a longer quilt. Not to mention the ability to easily vent the partial length quilts would mean that a warmer quilt is not necessarily a bad thing.
My thought as well is that, if I went with the Yeti, I could sell the Incubator for close to what I paid for it and use that to purchase a 40 degree burrow and give myself a lot of good options for packing for the elements while minimizing weight
*Edit* I also want to add the JRB Greylock 3 to my list as an option. Slightly heavier than the other options, but nice option.
