I would say it depends on the mummy. I’ve tried a few mummy bags that were a little restrictive, but the one I use now is great. It just depends whether you are willing to try some out before you...

I leave the 18th, if you need a stove don’t be shy to ask around for me.
Hey Ant, still figuring out my sleep system. What did you have in mind?
I contacted Ron to pick me up at the North Springs Marta this Coming March. He responded quickly to my email and offered reasonable rates.
Happy to know I'm not alone! I'm really not used to cold weather right now, and I'm sure that is a factor as well. I haven't looked into a throw, but I will keep it in mind, thanks.
I decided to try out the REI MAGMA 10. I'm going to try it out in some cold weather in the mountains by my house. If it doesn't do the job I may return it and continue my search. I just want to say a...
True. Is there a reason why the majority of thru hikers (based on the thru hiker survey @thetrek.co) opt for the 20 degree? Or is it a better safe than sorry because I tend to sleep cold to get a 0...
Very interesting, I've never considered draping my puffy over the bag, but it makes sense. I will definitely be trying it out!
I saw the review on out gear lab as well, but I tried not to be too let down by its warmth rating there considering they were reviewing it under winter bags, and I will will be using it as a 3-...
WM bags look awesome, but they are a little out of my price range at the moment. I'm sure halfway thru my hike I will have wished I spent the money, I hear nothing but good things about WM.
I found the REI MAGMA 10 on sale which is rated as a 10 degree bag. It's 850 fill and just under 2 pounds at around $250. It seems like a good deal and the reviews seems pretty positive so I have...
Thanks, any recommendations on quilts?
I made it through, but I didn't sleep much at all. I'm notoriously unmotivated and anxious without a good nights sleep. I'm trying to gauge how the weather will be on the AT, but I see it's variable,...
Thanks for the insight, I think I'm just already worried about Being warm enough, especially since I already sleep cold, that I would feel more comfortable with a bag/ quilt that needs less from me...
The thing is, I didn't start with all those layers. I added a layer about every hour because I was still really cold. I'm not sure what went wrong.
I wouldn't say useless, I would say uncomfortable. Perhaps others would feel fine in it, I didn't. I'm a cold sleeper and it didn't provide the warmth needed for me to get a good nights rest. Just...
Read up on what exactly?
I used a Klymit Insulated Static V LITE rated with an R-value of 4.4.
...
My sleeping pad R-value is rated at 4.4. Didn't really feel cold from under.
Hey everyone!
So I was finally able to test out my Kelty Comsic 20 and it did not live up to expectations. I went out in around 40 degrees with three layers (REI midweight base, Patagonia R1, and...
Whoa, I was just on there and couldn't find any. Shows how good I am at searching. Thank you!
Very true, I'll keep an eye out for bad weather and see how the gear runs.
I haven't been able to find my size (Large) under around 270. If it is less than that it is usually from the U.K. I'm not 100% sure I need a large or medium though, so exchanges would get tricky...
Wow, I would have grabbed the Rab if I saw it for that low. I haven't been able to see it for less than around 270 lately. I've looked at MyTrailCo because their prices are very good for What they...
I'm in California, our winter is laughable. I can pretty much always hike in shorts down here haha
