The Hennessy SS in combination with the gray OCF foam pad including the torso and kidney pad have served well for several years, comfortable to mid teen temperatures. The combination might go to lower temps, I never tried that. Always switched to down UQ for cold hangs.
All my Hennessys are converted to zip. I put a cover of "metallic fashion" fabric on the underside I bought at JoAnns. It has a woven backing which is completely durable, but exceptionally light weight. Mylar Space blankets can NOT be sewn IMO.
In addition, the Hennessy torso and kidney pad are attached to the gray OCF pad with Velcro. Also, a strip of 3/4" Velcro is sewn along both long sides of the gray OCF pad so it can be stuck together for compact folding and compressing. A wide band of elastic aids in keeping the rolled pad compact.
The whole thing weighs in at about 22 ounces, and compared to a down UQ is maybe lighter and less volume. I will get it out this winter and see what it does for colder temperatures. Relax, I'm not touting this over down under quilts.
