Title says it all. I have an AmStaff mix, smooth and short hair so you can see skin) After fiddling around with different systems due to weight and compressibility, this is what I have tried. I know Ryan had posted a discussion on this topic a few years back, is it relevant still?.
I have used with a foam mat (R2) with the following:
1- Chukit, with a blanket 30 oz. and not very compressible
2- Wilderdog Sleeping bag 28oz and Ruffwear Stumptown Jacket About 40 oz. total and not compressible enough. My Dog loves the bag though. It really is a well made bag.
3- Latest permutation is the Whyld River Sleeping bag ( https://whyld-river.com/collections/sleeping-bags/products/whyld-rivers-ul-sleeping-bag-liner ) and Hurtta body warmer suit ( https://www.hurtta247.com/product-page/body-warmer ). It come in at about 17 ounces total. It also compresses nicely and takes up about half of a 8L dry bag. He carries all of his stuff.
If it gets super chilly Dan Timmerman is manufacturing a 36×30 Climashield blanket (Spec’d for 8 oz or less) to use.
What do you have to say? I would love to hear ideas.
BTW, Mods stated that they will open up a pet forum provided they get more participation. I haven’t seen one on here so I emailed them.
