3 layer IX 35*

[blaktee]

Do you feel that any colder than 35 you would have to add layers for your back? Or are you talking about top warmth? Or both?

I really think all I would need is top warmth. my back did not get cold. more layers on the bottom I am sure would not hurt the overall system but I don't think it would be necessary. I am a bit conscious about weight, so for me the layering system is very important and makes a lot of sense.

I know down jackets will compress. but it's the overall warmth I am going after. If I am not losing warmth out the bottom, making sure I am warm in the hammock with cloths should be the ticket for me.

35* in shorts is pretty good for a 40.00 quilt. can't wait for winter and really give it a good test

Good looking quilt. Glad that it's working that well for you. Hard to beat for that price, too!

Thx for the info! I'm with you on the layering. Particularly when I can use what I already have with me. I like to use my puffy clothing (rather than wearing it)- or a light summer TQ - laid over me in a PeaPod to get a major boost or like a collar to block warm air from getting above my neck and escaping out of any breathing vent I might have, if any. And a space blanket below in the pod or in an HHSS, etc, etc.
