We recently ordered an Underground Quilts 0 degree top quilt. We bought it sized to fit our very tall, broad shoulderd, eldest son for when he camps with us. When he is not camping with us, my husband gets to call the topquilt his!
How low a temperature will he be able to do a topquilt/blue pad combo? Before we got our underquilts, we were very warm with our 5 degree down sleeping bags and pads. Zipping up seemed to keep warmth in. Will there be a difference with a topquilt and cold spots and drafts given the narrowness of the blue pad? Would it be better to make the pad wider and tape another piece to it? He's a big guy so wider would be better. The blue pad is so stiff, so I wonder if that would be very uncomfortable.
He has a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter. We were camping last weekend, and in the morning I could see his legs were up over the suspension. We swiched him to a much longer and wider DIY tablecloth hammock and he was so much more comfortable. I ordered him another tablecloth so his could be a double and the pad can go inbetween.
