Hi first post here.

I’m wanting to extend my backpacking into the winter months here in the Oregon Cascades.  Applicable gear that I have collected over the years:  -10 Marmot bag, 4 season tent, Kovea Spider stove and a 2 liter pot.

I have been looking at the NeoAir XTherm pad.  Is this going to be warm enough by itself?  Expected low temperatures could be +10 give or take.

I already have a NeoAir XLite and a Ridge Rest pad.  Both full size.  These would be not much more weight but a lot more bulk.

-10 deg bag?

IMO you should be fine with the xlite.  I sleep cold, and sleep in my 15deg Marmot bag and an xlite.

If you meant a +10 deg bag, personally, I’d look at teh xtherm or like Franco said, bring a Zlite.
