    WarBird Cover

    Anyone besides Arrowhead Equipment make a cover for the BB?

    Top cover nice to retain heat. An over all would be nicer for warmth and weather protection.

    Not commercially. There are a few DIY ones, though. Fin made a couple of nice BB hammock socks I think.

    I am still planning to make some socks based on the one that Fin sent me to test and copy. At most I will use some DWR fabric for them as condensation can still be a big issue with them, and we want them to still breath to an extent. A top cover would add a lot for those temps and a sock would be quite warm with a good quilt under you. A good tarp should be the first line of defense against "weather." I would not want to count on a sock for your weather protection. JM

    I agree pgibson the sock would be used in the extremes, like being prepared
