[pct-l] sleeping bag vs quilt

[Mike Cunningham]

I also toss & turn quite a lot. I have used a sleeping bag for years & unless it is very cold I keep my head out.
Last year I got a quilt & down hood. I found that the quilt does get drafty. This is good at warmer temperatures.

My bag is rated 35 degrees & the quilt 45. My solution is to use the quilt in summer & the bag below 50 degrees.  I am thinking of bringing a bivy to contain the quilt if the temp dips lower.

YMMV

 I am a big toss and turner and tend
 to get all twisted up in my bag with my
 face in the back of the hood . Considering a quilt with
 separate hood or
 something but I sleep cold and worry about drafts. Any
 experience from
 other cold, restless sleepers? Currently use  marmot
 helium.
