My tent is more for the summer, I could even feel the cold air flowing in from the walls of my tent - I'm thinking I'll just go with this tent season round. I can handle the cold, especially the South Texas cold. Maybe it was my hurry to dash out the door with only some shorts and a T-shirt. I'm guessing I was a little excited about the trip and the weather or weather channel didn't come to mind.

Jason, I have a suggestion for sleeping warmer on your winter trips. Start with a base layer of thermal underware. I have some made of silk...oh, so nice next to the skin. Next be sure you have some type of stocking cap on your head. It's been said that 40 percent of your body heat is lost through the head. Of course, if you're using a mummy bag, the top portion of the bag over the head will suffice. Just my 2 cents.
