I'd like to modify my sleeping system, right now have an XL MLD spirit 38f quilt which I layer over a sleeping bag with 750g/26oz of 850 fill. The bag is bulky and heavy – it's a bit of overkill given the layering.
I'd like to experiment replacing the bag with an EE Enigma quilt. But the question is which one, the following factors in my mind come into play:
– I'm 6', but thin with low body fat – ~150lb. I'm a bit of a cold sleeper. I sleep on my side, and turn a lot.
– Most use will be around 20-30f, but there's a potential to go down to 0f
– Shelter wise – it'll be used in double wall 2 man tent, MLD supermid (possibly with DWR wind proof bivy) and much less often – eVent bivy alone
– Option to wear a primaloft jacket (or two) to sleep most nights, option to wear syn insulated pants on the 0f trips
– Option to use heavy down hood, light syn fill hood, balaclava
– Duration is from 2 nights to 10 nights, moisture management is a prime concern (would rather avoid VBL at this stage), may be going to bed a bit damp at times as it's my prime way of drying out things, and sometimes it's straight to bed after stopping for the day.
– It's likely (I hope!) the dew point will be somewhere within the outer quilt, aside from the spirit's starting weight, it'll get heavy on longer trips owing to this moisture accumulation – thus reducing the loft of whatever's under it
Given all the negative factors in play, I was considering the 10f or 0f Enigma, 800fp.
The other question is sizing, I'm thinking Long, though can't make up my mind between Regular or Wide.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
I'm not sure how this quilts for winter is going to go, but I'm keen to find out. Being a restless side sleeper gets a bit annoying in a mummy bag.
