Hello guys, I am planning on doing a thru hike this upcoming March (beginning of the month). So I understand weather is a problem (being cold). I have only used my hammock for small amounts of times and barely last night I finally got the perfect hang (oh was it cozy!!!) So I tried using my Xlite (11 ounces 3.8 R-value) in my Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter U.L. and it felt as if I was in a cloud! I was so cozy and I then added my HG incubator 40 incubator. And I felt the heat on my back right away.
Okay so now to business, if my comfort was so good, do you think it would increase much if I was to buy a WBBB double layer, I like the features and I would be using my Xlite and HG 40 instead of a lower temperature quilt as it is only about 4 ounces of difference and I can stay in a shelter or hostel if I want to. I am trying to convince myself to carry and extra 2 pounds for comfort and versatility but my gram weenie senses kick in right away and tell me go to the floor.
I already have a low weight base and my TQ is a myog 10 degree quilt for winter and 40 degree for summer and plan on using a cuben winter palace the whole way.
Thank you for the responses/comments.
