Flight Jacket question -- Which to get?

[Atlas918]

Lat,
I went with a 20 degree and extra ounce in the footbox. I also have it paired with a three season Jarbidge. Works great in exactly the situations you described. Heck I use it in the summer also and just roll it down.

A 20 huh? Hmm. I was about to get the 30* until I saw this. Thanks for the info.

I'll also have to PM you to get some suggestions on places to camp since I'm new to the area.

Finally saved up the money to get a top quilt. Really interested in getting a Flight Jacket TQ but unsure which one to get, the 30* or the 40*

I'll be using it in Western and Central NY, 3 season, mainly late April through to Early October. Not 100% sure if I'm a warm or cold sleeper, to be honest. It'll be paired with a 3 season AHE Jarbidge which is rated down to 30/25ish.

After reading some discussions in the CJH forum I opted to go with a 20° FL Zeppelin and a 40° Flight Jacket; both with overstuff for my Clark. The Clark's weathershield does add warmth. To be honest I haven't taken it below 40° but that's been with the weathershield zipped partially open.

Anytime Lat. Glad to help out if I can.

20 degree full length Zepplin UQ and 40 degree Flight Jacket....

Merino long Johns and thick wool socks, long sleeve sweatshirt, and sweatpants...I was good down to about 6 degrees. 20 degree bottom and 40 degree top is a nice combo.
