I have been testing my Warbonnet XLC to get a feel for what it will do for me.
Last night I slept from 10 pm (temp 23) until 730 am (temp 14) in the XLC with top cover zipped to hammock, underquilt protector hanging under Wooki 20xl.
I had EE Revelation 20 that I used for 700 miles, 60 days on the AT this past spring. I am very familiar with this quilt and it’s limits for my sleeping needs.
Wearing
Smartwool150 pants,
Darn tough mountaineering socks
Patagonia thermal weight shirt
Icebreaker balaclava
Patagonia glade beanie.
I used a gossamer gear thinlight pad under my legs when I was in fetal position. But just for that small area where the knee is off the Wooki when side sleeping.
I used a Rab Neutrino (2016 model) over my top quilt from 430 am until I woke up.
Legs and feet were fine all night with a little chill from above, but none from below.
There was a steady 8-10 mph breeze, with gusts occasionally rocking the Superfly.
I had no condensation issues and Wooki handled the low temp like a champ.
I almost got the Wooki 0°, but am super happy with the 20° for East TN weather.
Testing will continue.
