I really like my quilt, I just got back from a ten day trip where the temps dropped to the low teens and I was warm as could be in my Enlighten Equipment 20 deg rev X. I was also wearing wool long johns and a wool hat. I do agree with the others who say a good bag/quilt is very important to a good nights sleep.

For a pad I really like my Exped syn mat ul7 wide. It's 26" wide which for me is important for a good nights sleep. I found 20" wide pads too short for me as a side sleeper.
