    who said it was "required"?
    Shug has stated many times that he wears all these clothes becasue he is too lazy to get undressed (I doubt this but his choice/rationale)
    IF you like to sleep nekkid or fully clothed, on the ground or in a hammock, I'm struggling to see how a hammock makes a difference...

Your wife ever look at you like that while you test this stuff, or ever go out on the superior hiking trail with you, cause I know mine would do a day hike. Which is fine but I know she wont do a overnighter.
    *note to self get an underquilt pronto*
    TY
    She is used to it now......

    I had a bit of moisture along the outside of my sleeping bag on the side that is not the entry side. Not much but I will continue testing.......

    I don't think that was that many clothes considering the temperature and winds. For me anyways.
    Ewker, do you commonly sleep out in sub Oº in a tent?

    sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread with my comment. Maybe a separate thread would be best

    Good report Shug. I'll throw in a whooooo Yeti too.
    I am doing something similar to what you are doing with the reflectix except that I am using radiantex. It is refelctive but also breathable. I haven't been able to test real cold as we don't get any. I basically took a length of it folded it in half so that it was reflective on both sides, then made it into a foot pocket at one end and it runs to just about where the yeti ends (under my lower thigh). I am using a mummy bag as a quilt and the foot pocket I made in the radiantex fits right inside the one on my sleeping bag. It works well so far. I am also going to try a bit under my neck and head.

    As far as clothing, when it's cold here I wear a one piece fleece suit, it is 18oz with a 36oz torso. It is drysuit underwear for scuba diving.
    I thought I was wrong once, turns out I was wrong about that.
