I currently have a 20F HG Incubator/Burrow and 40F Phincubator/Burrow. Looking at a quilt set for summer months and I think I would like to go LLG. I am a card carrying gram weenie and this set is truly meant for UL.. fast, light and warm weather.
Looking for feedback on the following, keeping in mind the rest of my kit and my goal to limit weight and volume. I want a 3/4 UQ.
50F Operator series - The Ghost Pepper & Habanero are 8.4 & 10.2 ounces respectively, in Argon 67. A bit over a pound for the pair. 7D fabric could reduce the Habanero by half an ounce. The Habanero uses baffled construction and both quilts use 900 fill.
60F Recon series - The weight of these is really attractive.. Ghost Pepper is sub 7 oz and the Habanero is 5.7 oz.. less if I choose the 7D. The Habanero is sewn through, but for what it is, I don't find issue. Plus I used a 3/4 CDT for warm weather a few years ago and had no problem with it. Like the Operator series they use 900 fill power. No secondary suspension on the Habanero; that could be a concern.
The 60F might be a better match to my 40's if I need to mix them up while the 50F might be too close to the 40's..
I would love some feedback from any of you who have pondered the same... And, from those of you who have the Recon Series. Thoughts?? I can find nothing on youtube for the Recon series...
