An issue with this method is that … well, Mylar is known for its heat retention, but not for its comfort. If you layer a blanket on top of the Mylar, you can increase the comfort level and keep the insulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Temperature Rating Should I Get For an Underquilt? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is always a tricky question to answer since the temperature ratings are not applied consistently. Every company has a different interpretation, and furthermore, you might think about what is too hot for one person to be freezing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, that temperature ratings are not where you will be comfortable, but where you can survive. Furthermore, it’s a bit more complicated with underquilts since they are assuming that you have some other cover beside the underquilt. If it was 20 degrees out and you have a 20 degree underquilt with nothing else–well, that will be a very unhappy night. Underquilt temperature ratings coincide with adequate top blanket protection. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’re not planning on camping in frigid conditions (colder than 40 degrees), then a 3-season underquilt will likely suit your needs. I can’t understand the importance of trying your sleep system with a trial run to make sure you can sleep comfortably through a cold night while you’re camping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re camping in sub 40-degree weather, you should make an effort to get a 4-season underquilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
