I dont use any leg pad at 50*F or above...
I use a climashield TQ (cut small and light...7oz) and I think that the synthetic TQ insulation gives me all the leg insulation I need at mild temps..
My UQ is a summer down 2/3 length from Hangnout's daughter Leigh...weight is about 8oz I think
15oz for both!

Hi Mak. Just down the street from you in Arlington. Did the AT from Route 50 to Route 7 the weekend of may 15 with my new Arrowhead Equip. 1S Lost River 2/3rd Under Quilt. Very light and perfect for around here. 2/3rd works great but I always carry a Montbell down vest to use as a pillow. In a pinch I just use it to cover the footbox if needed. Check it out from Paul at Arrowhead: http://arrowheadequipment.webs.com/a...s/show/1446900
It is a bit wider then all the others mentioned so you never need to worry about it getting out of place. I can post pictures tonight if you would like to see it.

Down to 50 degrees? I'd definitely go with one of Mac's full length, 8oz IX underquilts for $60. And no more fussing with a foot pad! I've taken my IX underquilt out the past couple of weekends and the 50's should be a slam dunk - the temp limit seems to be in the low 40's somewhere right now, but I'm still experimenting around with it. It's a nice minimal solution that packs up to about the size of a grapefruit.
