Comes in very handy to heat body up if damp and cold after hiking in rain all day or such with temps in 40s even. You heat up faster.
The goosefeet hood really has a useful temp range of 25-30 for sleeping. Below 20, its not enough. Common to go to sleep and wake up with head sweating and have to remove it if temps arent cold enough. Hoods are a bit of a pain like this.
Another reason why below 20 is breakpoint for using a good bag
But it all depends. When my body has been really warm in a good bag, ive slept with head out the face hole in upper 20s, completely uncovered, ice in hair, and not been cold. Stuck head out because too warm in bag.
