fleece top quilt temps

i am thinking about for my next trip experimenting with some long underwear and maybe a fleece jacket in the blackbird shelf to pull on if I get cold.

I slept on an ALPS self inflating pad with some long johns, a t shirt, my soloman minim jacket, and a very, very thin fleece throw blanket at a very damp 56 degrees about 2 weeks ago here in Missouri. Was super toasty. The jacket was on more to see if it was comfortable to sleep in for an upcoming trip in the fall. You don't get many chances here in the summer to try on a jacket and not sweat your you-know-what's off. A base layer set and a blanket, with proper under-insulation should be more than enough.

Not sure all fleece quilt/bag liners are created equal. I've got different fleece gear in different weights. I recently used a Sea to Summit bag liner in the mid 60s, and was fine except when I had to get up in the middle of the night to ...errm... inspect the trees. I ordered a heavier-duty one from the Jacks and expect it in the mail today. From the posted weight, I'm thinking it will keep me warm into the low 50s, but I'm a hot sleeper.

Personally, if in doubt, I'd go lighter on the TQ and compensate by carrying additional clothing insulation. You can always wear clothes to bed to augment your TQ, but (most) TQs are awkward to wear as additional clothing.
