I have a 20 Yeti and it works perfect for me. I have been down to 23F with it and was just fine. It's very light and packs really small.

Do you use the uq on its own or do you have pads and a tq or other bag because i have a ccf pad and a bubble pad and a 0* bag that im using as a tq

I had a small reflective bubble pad under my knees and feet along with my Enlightened Equip Rev X 20 TQ. In Spring and Summer months, I don't use the pad.

Together that got you to 23* or the uq alone got you to 23*

I think Grubartez is saying they both worked at 23F. Because the UQ is not full length, the reflectix was used under the legs, where the UQ doesn't provide coverage.

I have a Yeti as well. I am still tweaking how I provide coverage for my feet. On my first outing, I used a thick pad that, when pressed down, produced gaps in the UQ near the edges. That let cold air flow in. On the second outing I used a Thermarest Sit Pad under just my feet. The back of my legs were cold. So, I put the seat pad under my calves, where it overlapped the UQ, and a small section of stiff foam pad under my feet - what I had on hand. I am starting to see the benefits if using something flexible under the legs so the UQ provides a nice wrapping seal where they meet. That, I think, is why folks use Reflectix or the soft Gossamer gear stuff. I don't think a thick pad under your feet works as well - YMMV.

3-season Yeti is a nice UQ. Have used mine down to 28 degrees and was very warm. I am barely 5' tall. The 2/3 length UQ fits me better than the 3/4. My feet often end up creating an air gap with the 3/4 length UQ, but not the 2/3 length ones. Very light for all that warmth.

I've been looking at the yeti

I'm looking at a 3-season Yeti myself, can't decide between the Yeti or Greylock. Most likely gonna go the route of the Yeti because I am familiar with Brandon's gear and it is all definitely top notch. Also it packs much smaller than the Greylock but then I don't do a lot of hardcore winter subzero camping like some folks here so my priorities are different.

The Yeti, like everything Warbonnet makes, is really first-rate. It's also warm and light and packs down small. In short, it's just about perfect...

IF you're happy with a short quilt. I'm about 6'4", and I'm still on the fence after over a year with the Yeti. I've experimented with a lot of solutions for the calves and feet, and haven't found any one that really nails it yet. I've cut up a lot of ccf pads and just haven't found the perfect solution yet, and it seems like as soon as I find something that's perfect I then roll over or get up to pee, and start all over again. That being the case, it's sometimes easy to forget just how awesome hammock camping is!

This spring I'm going back to the simplest solution I can think of - half a gossamer gear pad - and if that doesn't work I"ll be shopping for a full-length quilt and putting my Yeti up for sale here.

Mind you, in spite of my reservations, it's a wonderful quilt... maybe just not for me!
