JRB Greylock 4 Question

[Shug]

Thanks Shug! I know you hang in some crazy temps. I'm not sure if I'd want to go that low (at least not yet). But it would be nice to have the ability. If you don't mind me asking, at what temp do you find the Greylock 4 to be too warm?

I only use mine in cold weather so can't truly say. I have several UQs so use the right one for conditions.

Thank you all for the info! After mulling it over, and thinking about how I intend to use it, I'm now leaning towards the Greylock 3 (or comparable option from another vendor). Too many choices! (although I'm sure I would be happy with whatever I choose).

at 23oz the greylock 4 isn't a bad option if you were trying not to spend the money on multiple quilts and wanted year round coverage and it won't take much of a gap to cool you off

at 17oz the greylock 3 saves you 6oz or about a 1/3 of a lb which would serve you well if you didn't expect temps often to go into single digits or lower

Based on when my mount washington 4 (Full length JRB) gets too hot its about 60 which is the same for the greylock 3 its more the tq that controls my temp at that point

My main combo is the greylock 3 and the shenandoah which is good from 30F - 65F which keeps me at 2lbs most of the year which is the weight of my either one of my 0 quilts alone

At 60 degrees, I would probably just switch over to my CDT UQ. I do like the idea of keeping my weight down. At this point, I don't see myself doing much camping in single digit temps; but of course that could all change down the road. But as it stands, it seems like the 20 degree option may be my best bet. Thanks for the info!

I've had mine to 20* with no foot pad and no socks and no extra clothes and I was very warm. It packs down very small. I don't know what it weighs, but to me it's not enough to worry about.

Is that the Greylock 3 or 4?

Sorry, the Greylock 4. I used it with a Hammock Gear Burrow 20.

Just be sure to use a prusik going from the 4 corners to your suspension like the recommend on the JRB web site. It helps a ton and its a sweet quilt for the buck. I will say that i found it overly warm in the 30* range and ive had it down to as low as 9 and it was fine.. Im also a warm sleeper
