So I've got quite the arsenal of bags, and I want to purge
Ff peregrine -25 down 37oz fill
Ff vireo ultralight 25/45 down 11 oz of fill
EE revelation 10 wide 30 oz fill
Moonstone mountaineering 20 down 20 Oz fill
Wild things half bag 30 synthetic
Mammut 40 synthetic
Moonstone -10 synthetic
So the moonstone bags, no reason to sell. Couldn't get much for them
If I sell my peregrine, how cold could I realistically push a combo of the vireo and the EE quilt. Combined they have 41 OZ of down (overfill on both)

Layering the quilt over the FF bag while wearing a winter grade down parka and proper head insulation, I could see you easily hitting -5 depending on how hot or cold you sleep. This is determinant on you're pad system being up to snuff for the conditions and you are well hydrated and fed.

Add in some down pants and booties and you could probably go lower. VBL clothing could push that further.

I've used 40° and 20° EE quilts combined down to about -15°F. I think I could have gone lower if my pad was better insulated, and if I had something better suited for keeping my head warm (this was before we came out with the Hoodlum, so I had a kind of makeshift head insulation setup that wasn't that effective).
