[QUOTE="o2bmark, post: 1664942, member: 6358"] I use marmot down bags. The newer down bags are hydrophobic nearly eliminating their only weakness. If it’s warm don’t fluff bag after unrolling. Down is more comfortable over wider temperature ranges. If cold natured always [B]wear a warm cap[/B] when you sleep (well always really). If your head gets cool your body will send less blood flow to your extremities-cold feet. Your head doesn’t have to “feel” cold for this to happen. You loose a lot of heat through head and ears. Seriously, keep your head insulated! Don’t go to bed cold: walk around or exercise till warm (not sweaty) before turning in. (Always sleep in dry clothes-better naked than damp clothes) On tents, if you expect to be in rain get one with a generous vestibule to allow covered space to get out of wet outer wear before getting in actual tent. Also allows gear stowage and cook space in rain. I hate tiny tents so make sure big enough for you and gear and room to change clothes or wait out storm without claustrophobia. With the lowered humidity and if at altitude more intense UV light you will be surprised at how much better you will handle the colder temperatures. Lots of Florida boys do great out west. [/QUOTE]
