Would a 20 degree quilt do good for sept elk? Or would you guys go with a 0 or 10 degree?
Where are you hunting in September?

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Quilts are easier to temperature regulate than any bag in my experience.  I have a 20 degree quilt that I use all year round because of that.  When cold, cinch it down and wear a puffy and beanie.  When it's 50-60, keep the side loose and open.

That along with the fact that they are lighter and easier to toss/turn within, leads me to rarely bring anything else.  Only time I go with a bag is when I'm truck camping and/or backpacking in real cold
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

All that said, I like the looks of the slick bag and for downright cold conditions or if I were a cold sleeper, I'd look at that.

A high quality synthetic insulation like that will save a life in cold and wet conditions.  :tup:

I went with the 10* from EE because their temp rating is based off a person sleeping with a base layer on.

I'd also vote 10ー

You can always vent during the summer, but come fall if you're really beat up in the backcountry, under-fed, dehydrated, etc. you won't sleep as warm.

I sleep with a window open and fan blowing on me year round at home, but I've had several nights in the mountains where I sure was happy to have a 0ー quilt even though it was only 30ー or so. It's just tough to keep warm when you're pushing the limits in the hills for a few days. For an extra couple ounces it's totally worth it.
