1st off, before giving an opinion on which you should get, or which we would get, what kind of temps are you looking at using it in, what range? Will you ever go below 20F? Or, even below 30F?
I have 2 UQ, both 20 deg, 1 is full length, the other 3/4. I use the 3/4 for temps between 40 and 65. The full length for colder. And if it gets real cold, I am going to use both. Haven't had the chance to try it yet, but maybe this year I will.
I don't want to use a pad, so the full length was the first UQ, then the next year,(or rather last year) I got the 3/4. Boy, that sure was a nice X-Mas.

Sorry guys I left out an important detail, this is not for guam, more of when I travel to nontropical places like Japan this coming February in the mountains. My target range is somewhere in the neighborhood of45* down to 0 i guess. My pluq will take place of a winter quilt other times. I hope this clears up any confusion. Thanks for all the replies so far...

No worries on the plug, in my op I was saying that more for the "go with HG and you won't go wrong" type of thing. Your particular post has gotten me to thinking positively towards my gut, and hopefully a decision in time for Xmas...just waiting on more thoughts on the subject after a little clarification on my end... Thanks...

It's usually cold at night around here. 40's in the summer is common. I will be changing out to all 0* quilts. Have a 20* top quilt, but I'm a very cold sleeper, so I'm a bit too cool in the 30's. Got a 40* UQ and planned to supplement that with a quilt protector and a pad. Love the protector - pad sux.

It was a difficult decision for me, I have a DIY that I made that gets me to about 40 Degrees so I just did not want to have 3 or 4 UQ. He assured me I would be happy with the zero. He can explain alot better than me LOL! I know he and alot of other companies are running some nice sales coming up for Christmas so good luck with whatever you go with.

If you are going anywhere near 0* you should get the Full length 0. Just my opinion but I could make due with 2 quilts, a 0 and a 40, that would cover all my needs. I can use my 0 all the way up to 40 and then the other quilt would cover the rest.

Another question though. Considering the coldest weather I have slept in was around 20*(I used a synthetic sleeping bag to wrap up in), could I actually go to 0 in a zero uq and tq? Or would I have to use a pad as well?

I'd get the full lenght 20F and use a pad with it if I wanted to go colder, but most of the camping I do it's above 20F.
