Quilt System

[atmat]

Do you run the full system ( insulated sheet, quilt, and pillow)? I am not sure about the pillow or if I would want an insulated sheet bc of the additional weight. What is your total setup running? I assume you are in the 10degree.

I run the 10* Lite. No insulated sheet and own Sea-to-Summit pillow

Thanks! Do you mind sharing what you like about the EE over the other options? I have looked into the hood and boots. AS far as stacking goes, did you try the cold weather double straps?

I didn’t like the El Coyote because of the weak drawstrings…moving around at night, I’d work the footbox open a little, which obviously sucks in the cold. The Katabatic was great, just could have used two more inches in width. The sewn footbox of the Enigma is my strong preference for cold weather use, and it’s available in wide and extra wide versions.

I haven’t tried the cold weather double straps, and probably won’t get the chance now. I’m good to about 15 with my current quilt and can get a little lower with the right clothes, but if I ever have a need to camp in single digits, I’ll look into an entirely different setup.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I also prefer a sewn footbox as well.

What liner are you running?

The older version of this https://www.rei.com/product/231200/sea-to-summit-reactor-thermolite-fleece-sleeping-bag-liner

Everyone sleeps different but like I mentioned above many nights in single digits with this set up; Merino baselayer top and bottoms, puffy top and bottom, liner, xtherm, EE 20 quilt.

i have been eyeing Zenbivy for a while and last week they had a 25% off sale so I jumped on it. Ordered the Flex Air mattress, Down sheet, 10 degree down core quilt, a pillow, pillow case, and stuff sack. It all came today and I love it. Can’t wait to get out and put it to use. It’s very comfortable. I can’t stand being restricted in a mummy bag. I’m a side sleeper, and like sticking my leg out to regulate temperature.
