I have the summer series XXL Top Quilt and the Full Lenth Under Quilt. I used them at Mt Rogers back in May (Trail Days Weekend). They kept me toasty and the low temp was 35°! I also used an UQP as it was windy. I have enjoyed the Summer Series Quilts. Wilderness Logics gear is the best!
Used my set last weekend on our Green Swamp hike with 32°f both mornings. Just a bit of CBS but that was well below the SS limits. It was actually only at the point of the lowest cheek and then only when I was on my back. While on my side I didn't notice the CBS. It could be just a matter of tweeking the suspension. I supplemented the TQ with a DIY quilt that was made lighter than a poncho liner and was very comfortable. All in all more than should have been expected from a summer UQ/TQ set.

I just recieved my Full Length SS UQ. Roughly the size of the Tadpole when in stuff sack. Fabric is very soft, and if TQ is made out of the same thing I imagine it would be very comfortable. Still trying to get the "hang" of hanging it (Bad pun, sorry) as it is my first UQ. Overall very happy with my purchase.

I've used the SS quilts very comfortably down to the mid thirties as well. I ordered the XXL topquilt which was overkill for size so it hasn't gotten as much use.
I have the SS XXL TQ and love it. I have had it down to 32 twice but I have the regular WL UQ 3/4 rated at 15 degrees I think? I wear light thermal top and bottoms. First time at 32 I was cold- second time I used a hot water bottle in fleece and it did the trick. I'm 5'11" and around 215lb. I don't feel like the quilt is to big but don't have a lot to compare it to.
