    20 vs 30 deg tq+uq stuffed size?

    Hello, please help me decide. I'm considering the loco libre tq+uq combo. I like to sleep warm. I only backpack with lows to the 30's, rarely anything ever colder. I'm thinking a 10 degree cushion is just what I needed, so 20 degree quilts, but I'm not sure. I've never had a down quilt. Always synthetic. For example, an apex 3.6 oz tq/uq I can do 50 degrees but I'm cold, and a 7.5 oz apex tq/uq I'm chilled at 40. I want to be warm at 30 if possible. Are down quilts ratings more realistic? How does a 30 degree LL quilt work for you?

    Also, my other big concern is pack size. I'm planning to do longer trips this summer with lots of elevation change so I also need to choose wisely and so not sure if a 20 degree is what I should get. It's not unreasonable for me to see the low 40s overnight in the summer here. So if anyone can share the stuffed size of the 20 degree and 30 degree tq/uq combos, I'd really appreciate it! Also, any advice or tips you may have, I'm interested!
