Hi all,
Trying to make up my mind on whether to buy a new bag, or to buy a custom quilt (Tier Gear)
In another thread I was asking for advice on a bag for use in Walls of Jerusalem (Tas) for late spring, through summer. The consensus being -5c would be OK.
I'm wondering if I should maybe go for an even warmer quilt (-10c) which would cover me for winter trips as well
I'd like to hear from quilt users (especially any in Tassie) whether a -10c quilt would be versatile enough to deal with Tasmanian summers, by wearing less clothes, hanging arms/legs out etc. Or is it going to be too warm?
And I wonder about how much difference it makes not having a hood on a quilt, if I"m looking at below freezing temps should I plan on bringing a balaclava, or wool buff to cover my noggin?
I guess as a pre-emptive follow up question, if a -10c quilt is going to be too warm for summer, what other rating should I get? e.g. if I get a -10c for winter or higher altitude summer trips, what should I get for summer? 0c? +2c?
