    I had one with 2+ overfill. Then I realized it was about the same size as the 20°. But it got nowhere near the low temps of the 20°. So for me it was useless. If I did more warm weather backpacking, I would get one without any overfill...but I just hate hiking in the heat/humidity/bugs.

    Yes, as a matter of fact, I believe it was your video. I knew yours would be slightly heavier with the heavier multi-cam, but didn't know the weight of the multi-cam fabric to do the math.

    Thanks for spotting this Sintax77!!

    Perfect!! I'm highly visual, so this is an incredible help! It also helps me confirm that I believe I made the right choice.

    Thanks Markr6!

    Gosh, I sure hope that isn't the case for me. I just ordered a 40+2!

    A burrow 20 Weighs 17.3 OZ, A burrow 40+2 weighs probably 14 OZ, these weights can vary a little and also in warmer temperatures the 0 would be overkill and most likely not very comfortable.

    I am very excited and totally have faith in my 40+2 order!

    On the HG site, the specs listed are for a 20* and it says about 16.4oz, but I've also seen some youtube videos that say their 40* incubator was about 19oz. I know different or custom materials or fabric colors can change this slightly, but I still don't have a good grasp on what to expect.

    Any help or examples you have is much appreciated! (and as always, pics make us all happy!)
    I would go with the phoenix and use a pad or piece of reflectix in the fox box of your under quilt, I bought a 0 degree and that thing has kept me warm all winter long last year. When it is colder below 20 I use my pack pad under my top quilt and a piece of reflectix inside without any condensation. Going this route you save weight and some money. The 20 degree Phoenix is cheaper and will be warmer or you can get the 40 but you will need something for the winter.

    I had the Phoenix 40+1 but at over 6 feet tall I found that incorporating a pad (i even had mine snap onto my tq!) or staying within the insulated area of the Phoenix was a little more cumbersome and was preventing me from a care free sleep. It was definitely warm enough, just not enough coverage to provide free movement when in the hammock.

    Also, I am a pretty hard core gram counter (I'm sub 8lbs minus food and water), so I figured I could afford one luxury item and add 6 or 7 oz.

    No problem. Yeah, the fabric made a pretty decent impact of the weight. Luckily, it still packs down pretty similar, so bulk isn't bad.
    I'm that guy from YouTube that likes to walk around in the woods and talk to a camera... Check me out on Youtube, Sintax77.com, Twitter or Facebook
