>>2543056>Would a 0 degree quilt be too hot for other situations?depends person to person but yeah probably. if you're a cold sleeper and fine sticking a leg out of the bag you might be fine to like 50-60 or so. when is that warm you don't even really need a bag though, a liner or a blanket is often good enough. i use a diy 2.5 apex quilt that cost me like 50bux to sew up and its a super easy first sewing project.
>Is down preferable to APEX? Getting down wet scares me t.b.h.down is better and apex is the best synthetic.
treated down exists and works decently good but it might reduce the longevity of the bag, no one really knows yet.
i find apex is just too bulky if you go below a 30-40* range 2.5 bag. i would consider apex over down if i lived in like i dunno forks washington or hawaii or somewhere with insane rainfall. i live one of those sorts of places and i've done fine with treated down and regular down. i do however only wear apex jackets and never down jackets.
>I could really use some draft guards on my next quilt. Side elastics would also be nice too. I'm eyeing a 0 degree Warbonnet Diamondback as I love all their other gear.
i THINK ugq is the only brand that does the shock cord side draft guards. might be outdated info though.
>>2543022seconded all this advice i basically do the same thing.
0 degree mummy, 20 degree down quilt, 40 degree apex quilt, and a blanket.
you might not need to if you're in a more tropical zone though.
