First off, I know there are better options out there for weight, compressability, etc, but this has been bugging me because I can't find an answer. Everyone knows how heavy the overall system is, but the patrol bag on its own doesn't seem too bad for a synthetic 30*-40* bag at it's size. 2lbs 6oz and not overly bigger than 2-3L compressed cylindrically.
Has anyone tried or tested the temp rating of two of these bags together?
I started thinking about this after looking into EE and seeing their suggestion for low temp camping by doubling their quilts over top of each other. The MSS uses the same principal, why not try it with two of the Patrol bags? With them being rated at 30* and estimating them coservativley at 40*, how low do you think this would take you? This is of course assuming sleeping in wool base layers and having a sleeping pad or pads with a 5+ R-Value. If this would get you down to 0*, this is a pretty cost effective system for >1lb penalty over a much more expensive synthetic of similar dimensions.
Or am I loosing my mind?
