Yes, because the Tango Duo relies on your pads for bottom insulation, you will need two pads to create a complete system. It works best with pads that can be connected or placed side-by-side to prevent cold drafts from creeping in between you.

The 30-degree rating assumes you are using high-quality, insulated sleeping pads. If your pads have a low R-value, you will feel the cold from the ground long before the down insulation fails you.

The hood is a great feature for colder nights when you need to trap heat around your head and shoulders. If you are camping in milder conditions, leaving it behind saves weight and reduces bulk in your pack.
