How chilly does it hafts be before deploying the Z liner?
I used mine last January at the New Jersey hang when it got to be 4 degrees above zero.
That is the only time I ever used it, as my underquilt has been enough at least down to 30 degrees F.

"I am the eagle, I live in high country, in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky;
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry;
All those who see me, and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly.”

Without an underquilt I use mine pretty often. Unless it is actually hot out, I say it is just cozier with it.
You need to see how much insulation the empty saddle bags and second, loose layer of fabric provide. Estimates vary widely between people.
I see this is a few months old and the op has probably gotten his/her answer, but i thought I'd chime in.
I just did a few days in the wilderness with my NX 250 and it got down to the mid 40s. I was testing the pockets by themselves, and I was pretty warm with just a hoodie and army field jacket on. I did get CBS though because all I had on down on my southern half was a pair of sweat pants. But once I put a camp towel under my butt, I was good.
With the weathershield deployed (that thing is amazing BTW), I was fine with just a cheap 50 degree Wally bag on top of me.
I'm a very cold sleeper, and I've got a feeling I will be able to get down into the 20's with my Z liner with very little effort.
Very interesting. Thank you for your input
