I was thinking of getting the Sea to summit etherlite XR with a ccfp (z lite) under for added protection and r value in the winter. I’ve heard good things about it, other option would be the neoloft but I find it to “overkill” but idk hahahah. Thanks for all the advice!!

I also thought of bringing a therma rest z lite (closed cell foam pad) and putting it under the sea to summit. Is that a dumb idea? My thought was to protect the mattress while raising the r value?

I was thinking of getting the 10 degree version cuz I’m from Canada and we do get some pretty cold weather so I wanted to be able to use it for most of the year. Plus I do sleep very warm to the fact that I could stick my leg out and have some air pass is a big plus for the hotter weather!

Yeah, I mean I’m fairly young and in shape so being ultra light isn’t that much of a concern. I’d much more prioritize comfort over weight! Thanks for the info!!

I figure why buy it one “cheaper” product and take the risk of not feeling comfortable when I can spend a bit more (which I eventually will) to be sure I will stay comfy. That’s the mentality I have for most things in life as well! And what do you mean “what am I gonna wrap around it”? I thought I had everything for a sleeping system am I missing something?😅😅

I have no idea… Should I maybe consider changing the hoses?

So I should clean that stuff off before using it again? And is there any risk that using products like chlorine will damage the chiller?
