How much would one layer of insultax extend a quilt

For instance a Climasheild XP 2.5 oz quilt with M90 good to 45dF.

Then add a layer of insultex on the inside of the Climashield.

Thanks

depends on the user but maybe 5-10 degrees more

The manufacturer claims about 13F per layer, depending upon how it's used.

It's supposed to have a bit of distance between itself and yourself. For optimum performance I would put the climasheild closest to you with insultex on the outside.

(however I am not an expert, hyoh)

I made a full length UQ with 6.0 Climashield and layered it between two layers of IX and it's very effective at 27* so far that's the coldest its been for me to try it out. Was not toasty, but definitely not cold at all.

i used a piece winter campin in up state ny over Christmas as a supplement to my homemade uq it gave me the extra 10 or so degrees to keep me toasty.

Macentyre is the defacto expert on IX here... due to condensation concerns, I think he recommends it be in between the hammock and UQ.

My guess? 5-10 degrees, depending on you...
