I mostly hike in the European Alps, Pyrenees, Balkans etc. evening temps rarely drop below freezing but it's not unheard of.

I sleep warm, on an R=5 pad, in a tent, and wear alpha 60 base layers.

Based on the Timmermade Alpha 90 blanket adding 10°F (5°C), this should surely add a couple of degrees of warmth?

It seems fairly accepted that a light down jacket will add a few more degrees.

I'm thinking about the Ice Flame Semi Summer NXT quilt with 300g of down and about 1.25" loft. The manufacturer claims this would have a comfort rating of 5°C and limit around freezing. I trust these numbers having used their quilts before.

Based on the above, I'm hoping this will be comfortable in warm weather and warm enough slightly below freezing to sleep well in high altitude camps even in a cold snap.

What are people's experiences with using similar quilts in mountain conditions in the summer?

I can't find a single review of this tent but it looks great... keen to hear experiences from users.

I'm looking For a budget mid that can handle seriously high winds (at least 40mph). In general this is for 3 season use.

The Lanshan 1 Pro is 690g, 20D silpoly, but when pitched with it's back to the wind, it only has one guyline to pull the rear-centre ridgeline out against the wind. I like the silpoly option and the new additions at the head and foot end to avoid touching the fly.

The Astagear is 580g, 15D silnylon, but has 3 guyouts on the rear so that every ridge line is supported when pitched into the wind. This seems like a superior design but I'm curious what others think.

They are the same price.

If anyone has any other suggestions under 200$ and 800g then feel free to chime in

One would assume that this can handle a few degrees below zero and I'm curious if anyone has put that to the test?
