Will this be sufficient in zero degree temps inside a tarptent on an insulated pad?
i have a 20 degree rev, your gonna love it.Just pulled the trigger on a 20 degree revelation earlier today. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I agree now I wonder what I am going to do with all these sleeping bags.i have a 20 degree rev, your gonna love it.
Kinda looking at getting one myself and wondering about a 0 or a 10. It's only a couple once difference. Last mid September here in Montana we had a foot and a half of snow and actually bailed off the mountain to get my 0 degree older MH synthetic bag. Temps in the low 20's at night and I was pretty cold. Year before that it got cold and snowed too in September. I figured I can always open the 0 up when it's "normal" mild Sept weather. Oh the choices!I just bought a 0 Degree Revelation Quilt and I'm wondering if it's gonna be overkill for my MT early season elk hunt?
I dont have a pad yet and probably will be in a wall tent

Update from my end, I froze my ass off in 17° weather with a 0° quilt.
I sold it, back in a bag

I tried the quilt also and went back to a bag. Couldn’t ever get it adjusted right to avoid drafts. Every time I moved or rolled over cold air came in and chilled me. Tired of fighting the quilt..... I went back to a 0* Slick Bag and couldn’t be happier.

I've been researching these a ton and reading a lot of reviews online. The biggest complain comes from guys not using an Xtherm... Well if you're in winter weather with a summer pad...Quilts need a good pad and need to tuck the quilt around you so there are no drafts. I have a 0 degree EE Revelation in xlong and wide and ordered an xtra wide. I toss and turn and kept getting drafts. For the later parts of the year I have a 0 degree, and warmer months I use a 40 degree EE quilt. Putting on layers is key to warmth, I always sleep in a clean set of think woolies or polypro, then add arcteryx synthetic pants.
