I'm totally bias ... that said ... most definitely the HG 20 with sewn footbox makes me mighty happy! :woot:
Feet get warm and you need to vent ... tuck your knees up a bit and pop them out of the foot box. Just as easy to get back in it.
Biggest problem with the HG quilt ... getting out of the hammock on a cold morning ... just too dang toasty and comfortable! :lol:
have a burrow and have been pleased with both the quality and customer service.
have a BB and edge tarp and have been pleased with both the quality and customer service.
Um...can't really go wrong I don't think.
My 20 degree long/wide Mamba works very well. Nice item with quality workmanship. I sleep hot and have yet to be cold down into the lower teens.
I do mate the Mamba with a HG Incubator UQ(another fine item with superb workmanship).
Both are high quality items. $$ might dictate the selection$$
Both items are rare on the For Sale forum here at HF.
Here's my .02 cents on this. I bought a 20* HG burrow with the snaps. I love it. Here's why. While being my lightest sleeping bag/quilt it is also my only quilt. I used it from February till now. All through the spring summer and fall. Even in the coldest temps that I had it in, around Mid 20's, my feet never got cold enough for to wish I had it sewn. However in the summer I could unsnap it or open the bottom to vent. Now for my winter one I will be getting a sewn zero degree from HG as well.
My apologies to the OP if I'm digressing, but could someone with a current model Mamba please explain what the cinch cord setup is on these now? I saw an old WM video in which it had a snap and two cinch cords, one on each side, but I understand that they now have a ribbon, no snap, but I haven't seen any photos of how you cinch up the neck.
Cheers
we switched to the ribbon ties long ago, you must have seen a very early model. i pull a bunch of cord through the cordlock which cinches it mainly on that side, but then you just grab the bunched fabric and pull on it a little which it evens out the cinch across the whole width, it's pretty easy.
i find it's easier to tie the neck ribbons and do most of the cinching and THEN pop my head through the head hole, then usually just a small adjustment to the cordlock to get the tension just right around my neck
