So I went out last weekend and got tons of condensation on my down bag because I cowboy camped. I'm realizing that the wetter weather is soon to be upon me here in the PNW and I'm looking at Synthetics.
Long story short:
What are people's thoughts about taking a 4oz AMK bivy and adding Climashield Apex insulation to the top, sides, and footbox area (much like a quilt) and then adding Polycryo to cover the insulation? This would make for a waterproof sweat box I understand, but I wouldn't then have to be so careful in wearing dry clothes to bed or worrying about condensation build up on the outside either.
I use a 7×9 tarp (sometimes) and a bug net. Yes I have ample room to change my clothes and stay dry in the rain in my down bag, but I'm kinda getting tired of of feeling like I have to "baby" my down bag.
Other questions would be how much insulation to use and then determining what temperature range it would be good for. I'm just bouncing ideas around right now obviously so any input would be great.
Cheers
