Hi there.
Figured this was a more appropriate place to ask my questions.
I have been dodging around ordering a proper full set of quilts to replace the sleeping bag and PLUQ I've been using so far. It's worked fine, but the SB is quite bulky and heavy, being synthetic, and the PLUQ don't quite cut it for autumn and winter, and the early spring, unless supplemented with a pad... And that really ruins the whole point of an uq
Living in Denmark with a very typical Scandinavian climate, meaning summer temps in the night between 10-20 and winter temps between 5 and minus 15. In Celsius by the way. Add to that some wind and generally high humidity.
I'm pretty sure down quilts is what I want, for the reduced bulk and weight, and I'm pretty sure the humidity won't be a real issue. I mainly camp 3 seasons, but usually a winter trip or two as well, so I'd like to be able to use the same quilts ear round and just supplement with a little more clothes and a UQP for winter.
I've been thinking about a 20 Phoenix with 1 oz overstuff and a 40 burrow with 1 oz overstuff. Looking at the temp ratings it looks okay to me, but since it's a big investment I'd like a bit of experienced eyes and advice on this
Additional info that might, or might not, be relevant.
Tarp is a WB Edge, pending funds for doors.
Hammock is a Woodsman Lite.
I'm 175 cm tall and weigh in at about 63kg.
I'd say I'm an average temp sleeper, neither really hot nor cold.
Weight is important as well as reducing bulk. Trying to go light, but not ultralight.
Cheers.
