    CLO Values of different insulations. Synthetics and down

    Searched for CLO values of different materials and found some!
    Here it is, also there's some thermic calculations which I made according to mammut sleeping bags website.
    Temps are in Celsius!

    Probably it'll make every DIYer happy if choosing quilt insulations.

    That's a lot of work that went into that spreadsheet.

    Is the reported temp in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

    Temps are in Celsius, but it shouldn't be hard to convert.
    If there's someone that could make somesort online calculator for this thing, be my guest, but share!

    My math must be fuzzy. It seems to be saying that 5.0 Climashiled APEX is only good to about 64*?

    My calculations show that 5 oz Climashield should be OK to about 46 F
    Yeah, I'll admit it's not perfect, with -2 C (or 28.4 F) I've slept with great comfort using my 133 g/sqm (4 oz) Apex.
