Well, let me tell you, there's not much insulation in the thing. I wouldn't use the thing under 55F.

It is going to make a great X-mas gift for a friend of mine that is on an actual SWAT team.

Hey neo, I used my 40* North Face Alleghany sb as a top quilt to 12* last weekend with no cold issues - does that mean I'm "frigid" like you? I mean, have ice in my veins? What were you using/were you using an UQ?

What were YOU using, below and above? Surely not the 40*F bag by itself above? Maybe some warm clothes? What hammock and what below? That's pretty cold weeks before winter starts! ( that is 12*F, right?)

I am on the other end and get cold 10 or 20 degrees above the rating of a bag or quilt. I seem to be a human popscile after my hike. I think the older the fat layer the more insulating it must be.

Documented in my custom Blackbird Warbonnet thread. Yep, 12* Fahrenheit with 10 mph winds for a - windchill, but I also had a converted UQ made from a 0* Eddie Bauer down sleeping bag, and was sleeping in my silks, and had a DIY weathershield, as well. That's why I asked. I did 12* no problem, but had additional "help," so to speak.

Have you not fattened up some yet? Of course, even if you have that would be NEW fat, so..
