Hey all
Has anyone tried using a Gortex jacket to supplement a 3/4 length UQ under the feet.
Not sure if Aussie temps will get too low, coldest I normally camp is around 3-4°C (hopefully not any colder) For it to go below 0°C would be a freak incident and it hasn't happen yet
I'm a warm sleeper anyway and slept for the first time in a hammock to a low of 7°C with just a -3°C (comfort rating) kathmandu down mummy bag and one of those reflective car winscreen thingys under my torso and thighs. (Just in boxer shorts and a thermal tee shirt, Had wool socks on and got hot to start with so took them off)
My feet seemed fine and I was warm and comfortable all night.
Just not sure if it's worth getting a small CCF pad for my feet as I have only ordered a summer TQ and it will probably not be as warm as the bag I used.
If I can use my Mountain design Gortex thigh length rain/wind jacket instead I will.
Anyone tried this or similar.
