I’ve been trying to improve my sleep system, but it’s not quite there yet.
Sleep system:
- Durston Xdome 1+ tent
- therm-a-rest Xtherm mat
- an old reactor extreme bag liner
- Sea to summit ascent ACii (old version)
More details on bag:
- 750+ loft duck down
- 550g fill weight
- lower comfort rating -10c / 14F for men
Issue:
I run really cold. I always freeze when camping overnight. I recently improved my mat to the Xtherm. I tested this out recently overnight in about 5c / 41F. For once I wasn’t uncomfortably cold, but that temp felt like my limit before I started to be. I wasn’t warm. I had a hot meal soon before getting into bed, and did a few jumping jacks. I wore a 180g merino base layer top/bottoms, merino comfy pants, jersey, hat and gloves.
Goal: warm/comfy in -5c / 23F without piling on the clothes. Just want to wear a merino belayer.
I feel like my setup is pretty good, but how can I improve it to meet my goal?
