Hi, Just wondering about something probably really obvious to experienced hammock campers (I'm a newbie though at it)- sleeping bags and underquilts are given a comfort rating of say, 5°, but how are these figures worked out?
If you wear insulation, sweatshirts & jogging, etc while you sleep (as hammock users usually do), that will change the comfort temperatures at which you can sleep using a particular sleeping bag or underquilt.
I've just ordered a OneWind underquilt 35° - 50° but I should be able to sleep comfortably in lower temperatures by wearing more insulation or using a sleeping bag, should I not?
If I combine an underquilt as above with a 2° sleeping bag, what sort of temperatures should I be abae to sleep in comfortably without having to wear loads of insulated clothing?
Like I said, probably a daft question but curious
Thanks guys
