Gotta agree with this...always test things out from the safety of Ft Livingroom before you take it out with no backup on the trail. Test hangs in the backyard or someplace where you can car camp and evac if things go south is always a good idea with new/unfamiliar gear.
Like RamblinRev said...the HHSS (overcover, undercover, underpad) are a source of debate here often.
I used mine two weekends ago in temps down to 22F with 30-40mph winds, for two nights. This was in conjunction with a 20deg sleeping bag, fleece liner, and poncho liner along with the undercover/underpad/space blanket combo. I was quite warm, but many others have had issues at those temps or even higher.
One other thought...post for a bit here on the forum, see if there are any forum members near where you live...perhaps even a "hang" in your area that you could attend and try out all sorts of gear.
