    Long Incubator is WAAAAY too long for 6'2" me

    I'm 6'2" tall. I've used both the long and regular HG Incubators with my WB BlackBird XLC. I was shocked at how excessively long the Long incubator was -- WAAAAAY more than I could ever think would be useful. The Regular works fine with plenty of room to spare. Remember, not only do you sleep diagonally, but you only need the UQ to go from your neck to your heels (when you are diagonal). In this mode, I have LOTS of room to spare past my feet.

    But of course, your mileage may vary ...

    Everyone's thermostat runs differently...YMMV...but I have had the Incubator 20 down to the mid 20s (dry air). IMO it was OK (a bit of chill) but I don't hammock to be "OK" I do it to be ridiculously comfortable so I added a 0 degree and sold the 20 degree. I sleep in one layer of lightweight thermals max and prefer less so that may affect the subjective rating.

    It's good info. I think I'm a warm sleep anyway. My buddy says he was comfy at 4 degrees and he had a 20 degree plus 2 oz overstuff. He had a 0 degree sleeping bag.
