Cool/cold weather protection

So far so good, no condensation at all but the coldest it's been was 49* so that may change with colder temps.

Thanks!

Yeah I've had condensation but general it hasn't been a problem so long as i air out my bag between uses. A synthetic bag doesn't take long to dry out that little bit of moisture. In a situation where you can't hang it out, mostly condensation occurs where my torso contacts the pad so if when i get up, i fold over the top portion of my bag towards the foot that lets the back of the bag dry out as well as the portion of the pad it was covering. If you forget to air it at all, you can flip over the pad. The inside of the bag will probably be dry

Great tips! Thanks

Last November I was very comfy at 22 degrees in my WL Night Owl (DL) with the following: blue Wally CCF pad with a windshield reflector beneath it and a makeshift fleece under quilt (the "under quilt" was thrown together last minute and I'm not sure how much of a benefit it really was). I used a 20 degree TNF synthetic sleeping bag.

I should mention that I am a warm sleeper and have never experienced much if any problems with condensation...not sure why.

Ive used a thermarest and reflex with a good sleeping bag and was good at 40 degrees.. Not sure how much colder i could have gone... But i was quite warm all night...
