    Need advice TQ

    Well it's that time again, looking for a TQ. I have been using a down filled Canadian military cold weather system and the weight is getting to be too much considering there are so many options for a TQ.

    I am looking for something that will get me down to the -20*c range.

    I am considering the JRB "High Sierra Sniveller" paired with the MW4 purchased last year.

    Or the HG Burrow 0*

    any advice or experience with either would be greatly appreciated, I know I am asking for something that truly is a personal preference, however I would like to hear from those who have tested the 2 products listed or any other products that will provide the same temp. range and quality?

    I don't even know what your question is, but I just wanted you to know I don't recall ever literally laughing out loud at a username before.

    Well done.

    Well.. the deciding factor for me was the weight of the Sniveller, the temp rating and if manufactured like the MW4 I purchased through JRB last year it will perform well in the coldest conditions I would be venturing into.

    Well worth the money spent as it will be paired with the MW4 which performed excellent last winter.

    Thanks... my buddy bought me a t-shirt a few years ago, on the the front it has the river name and the back has "paddle faster I hear banjos"... I thought it worked well as a username...lol.

    Oh, I got the reference for sure!

    It's actually funnier without the "paddle faster" part...
