40deg quilt with hooded puffy/pants

[Mikido]

Looking at the EE revelation quilt, in 40 deg.
I’d be also wearing my Kuiu super down pro puffy set…..will this combo take me down to 30-35 degs? Thanks for your time

I'd think so. You're only talking 10° less, plus entire puffy set, especially the pro. I wouldn't hesitate to try it. I plan to add a 40° quilt at some point to cut weight and plan to use with just ultra down jacket for similar temps.
You might consider goose feet down socks. I always have them and I think that would help me push the temp limits more than puffy pants. I've been sub 20 in our 20 quilts without an issue with the geese feet.

That should get you down there.

I've been considering adding a 40 degree quilt as well. Although, I'm looking at the Hammock Gear Burrow as I have a 20 degree from them and it's been fantastic. Plus, they're running a sale right now, and you should be able to get a 40 degree quilt for under $240. Hammock Gear is comfort rated, not limit rated, so you'd definitely be able to go colder.

I would think you'd be fine, but what is your use case for a 40 degree quilt? I think a big advantage of the revelation is the ability to open the footbox or use it as a blanket when summer temps are high, but still have a 20 degree quilt rating for shoulder season or colder camping.

I have owned a 20 degree revelation for 9 years now and it's a great quilt. I'd say their temp ratings are very true to scale, but I'm a fairly warm sleeper. I don't use it past October, because the drafts start to get to me in the quilt, and I'm usually truck-based hunting for the later season anyway and can bring a heavier bag.

One piece of advice is to go with a wide model if you have broad shoulders or are 180+ lbs. I think the extra width helps get less drafts for someone more barrel-chested like myself.

This is exactly what I use but switch back to a 15 degree sleeping bag once it’s below 30 degrees. I’m sure I could take the 40 degree down to 20 - 25 with puffy pants and jacket but I hate using attachment straps.

What kind of pad do you use?

 

[FoggyScope]

Definitely. A very warm pad, thick socks, a hat and neck gator hat are the other parts of the puzzle for me with light bags / quilts. You bring all those puffy layers, might as well use them at night.

What kind of pad do you use?

Thermarest neo air xlite. Mine has 4.2 R value but thr new version NXT is 4.5R value

I think the only honest advice is that it might work but you would have to test it out how you use it and with what other gear around it to be sure. For me, I am not interested in shaving out a pound of feathers/fibers when they might make the difference between good restorative sleep and just surviving the night.

Went down to 28 degrees last night with the 40 deg quilt, fall hunting clothes, and puffys. Stayed warm….slept on a Nemo switchback pad. Game changer for me.

 

[S.Clancy]

Yup. I have the same quilt and taken it to the high 20s with a good puffy jacket.
