I got Longer Rides by Jo Burt which has lots of his beautiful illustrations in it as well plenty of anecdotes, tales and tips A wee bit of cash and the usual socks....

Re: Formula for combining temp ratings on multiple bag/quilt

Apologies Whitestone, I was blinded by the table!

Hmm, the quilt I had my eye on might not fit in the foot box of my synthetic bag. Mind you it packs down pretty small but I guess I'd be negating the effect of the loft

Re: Formula for combining temp ratings on multiple bag/quilt

Not sure if there's a formula as such. There's a table on the Enlightened Equipment blog about layering quilts https://support.enlightenedequipment.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002770588-Quilt-Layering that seems about right.

Say +5 quilt with a +10 bag

Ta for the help, it's got me stumped!
