I'm prepping for a Fall hike in Ontario, Canada in a couple weeks. Temps should go down to around 0°C. I'm a cold sleeper and am looking to fashion a quality system to stay warm and toasty in my Hennessy Backpacker overnight.
It's my first cold weather trip so I need to get some gear. I'm thinking of getting a good down sleeping bag, rated to -7 °C (comfort rating). To counter the compression of the down, I'd add the cheap amazon OneTigris $90 underquilt rated to +5°C. Between the two, I imagine that's enough? Assuming proper clothing layers and touque.
I suppose my question is how viable an underquilt is once the temp drops below what it's rated for.
Thanks for any input or other ideas.
*Underpads don't work for me, I always create too much condensation.
