i made the mistake of using the winter yeti with the reflective liner... when it wasn't winter.
its a very lightweight, packable piece of gear. the one i used was very very puffy and extremely warm. the only relief i got from using it was the fact that it kept falling off my left shoulder and it vented it.
i just slept in my blackbird last night with my winter yeti. wore a t shirt and sweat pants with socks and used my 20 degree down bag as a topquilt. i was toasty at 32. awesome piece of gear.

Thanks for that insight. I was tired last night when I posted it..I was just curious to see how well the Yeti was performing during this winter cold spell.I will edit and change the post to make it more specific.

I think the folks in the mid-west and east have definitely had opportunity to test the winter Yeti and others at new lows, during this impressive cold couple of weeks we just had. I know I was busy trying to test every thing I had while the cold temps lasted.
There should be some new info and opinions available. But, not from me for the Winter Yeti as I don't have that particular UQ, sadly.
Thanks. I will be receiving a winter Yeti sometime next week. I plan on using it in the Adirondack mountains this winter. I just was interested in learning more about its capabilities.
Been down to -2º in mine .... warm and snug!
