This is my first post, so I would like to introduce myself
26 year young male living in Chicagoland. Have always done car camping for the past 5 or 6 years, now its time for my friends and I to start backpacking.
I'm looking for a 3 season quilt. I was pretty set on an EE Rev Pro, but then found Hammock Gear and was all about it due to them being a bit less expensive. This quilt will mainly be for Spring/Summer/Fall. Maybe a winter night or two, but not backpacking related (car camping for the most part). I got a thermarest xtherm as my pad, which has a pretty considerable R-Value of 5.7. I am 6'1", 180lbs and a decently warm sleeper.
The ultimate question of this thread, is I'm looking at either the Burrow in 20* or 40* with an ounce or two of overfill to serve as my 3 season quilt. I'm not gram-obsessed, btw. I know I could probably do 40* with some insulating clothes for the colder temps, but just want to see some opinions. Just not sure if I'll be sweating too much if I go with the 20* and sleep in 60* nights.
Any opinions? I emailed Andy about a week ago and haven't heard a response yet (sales@hammockgear).
Thanks VERY much guys! I know you probably get a decent amount of first time threads like these, but I do appreciate the suggestions.
