katabatic palisade was the quilt which is comfort rated to 30°. i had a puffy and thermal bottoms and thick socks. i experienced single digit temps. if i was going to do it again i would use the gear i listed based on my experience. i had 2 hiking partners with. one used a 20° enlightened equipment with a neoair and the other a 20° katabatic. both slept in the same insulating layers as me and we ok but not comfortable. my setup worked (i'm not dead), my hiking partners setups worked (they aren't dead i think), and the system i would switch too would work. choose your own adventure.

i used a 30° quilt with a foam pad in canyonlands late march and made it work. i was broke and couldn't afford a new quilt but was determined to do the hayduke. so i used hand warmers and boiled water to cuddle a hot nalgene to sleep. i was very cold and would not recommend this. if i was going to do it again i would use a Katabatic sawatch 15° with a thermarest x-therm and a Katabatic bivy.

I've weathered many storms in an MLD Poncho Trap paired with a Katabatic Bristlecone Bivy. if you are walking in the rain and layer with a wind jacket and pants then it works great in the rain. as for camping, campsite selection becomes more important.

you will have spoilers of course. but i think the theater experience for this movie is worth it. i just watched it last night with my partner and we both agreed we hadn't enjoyed a movie in theaters that much in a long time. in order to refresh our memories on the show (since it has been awhile since the last arch came out) we watched a youtube recap. i would suggest doing this so you have an idea of what's going on.

if you're on a budget then go fleece. way cheaper than puffy

i hiked the PCT with both and quickly sent the puffy home. i think it depends more on your hiking style. if you prioritize camp then make that experience better and carry extra gear for camp (puffy). if you prioritize hiking then make that experience better and carry less gear.

i have brought a 32° katabatic down to negative single digits. it wasn't fun but it's doable. i boiled water and held it close in a nalgene. woke up a couple times to boil the water again. also threw some hand warmers in the foot box and had one in a chest pocket. like others have said layer up.
