    summer weight climasheild

    Hey folks;,,I'm wondering which climasheild weight would be enough, the 2.5 oz or 5 oz. This will probably be for summer only, july, aug,,probably not dropping below 60 degrees at night.
    Thankx

    I have a summer TQ made from the 2.5oz climashield. I use it 50* and up...very light and compact! Good stuff!
    I have another of the 3.7oz...35* to 50*

    AC is right on the money, we do 2.5 or 3 ounce as summer weight, taking most folks into the low 50's to mid 40's depending on each persons comfort range. 5 and 6 ounce takes most folks into the low 30's and some as low as the mid 20's....again person to person varies some.
