I'm in the same camp Ohoopee!!!
I've got an Operator Habanero underquilt in the works... outer color, Saddle Brown Argon 67, inner, Burnt Orange Argon 67, Outer/Inner Stitching Color, Orange. This is, in part, a component of my attempt at an ultralight hammock ensemble. Trying to get my summer/fall setup trimmed down.
It'll go with my other LL quilts... 30° Habanero, 10° Carolina Reaper, 25° Cayenne Pepper & my 25° Jalapeno Pepper topquilt. Soon to be one big happy family!! :thumbup:
I tried to keep from buying more quilts! Used a couple Kifaru woobies this weekend and I had hoped they would be sufficient. However, while warm enough, they weigh 2lbs apiece. I have 30 degree HG and EE set for winter. I really needed a lighter setup for summer backpacking/Fly fishing trips.
I head into Smokey nat park about 5 or 6 times a year and usually camp about 3 to 5 miles up to less pressured fish.

Just ordered the 50 degree operator UQ in saddle brown. Hope it gets here soon enough to use it in early fall.

I finally completed the set yesterday. I don‘t think you can go any lighter. Full insulation for less than a pound and super compressible. :rolleyes: Seems like it might actually take you down to 40F with a summer sock or UQP.

Agreed, it's a pretty awesome set. If you use stuff sacks, you can pretty easily get both quilts into one of the sacks.
The worst part about summer ending is having to put away my 50's.
I have a couple LL winter TQ's though:). I still have to pull the
trigger on a full length 20 degree UQ.
