    probably should post this in the thread about sleeping bags with arm and foot holes...but night before last I slept in a Speer 8.5, a PeaPod, inside with a Wallcreeper but I rememberd to use the JRB down sleeves...nice combo. Added a 1/4 inch pad inside and was very warm at 16F with no wind.

    Nice review. I bought a pair on sale about two weeks ago. They seemed like a multi purpose item. I guess i'll find out soon.

    Yeah !!!!! ...... those sleeves are quite the versatile piece of gear. Been carrying mine with me for a couple years now and never go without them. always a pillow and often a bootie. Sometimes a sleeve or a mitt or a hat or I stuff them into my shirt or pants to warm a particular chilly part.

    Cool. Nice review. I love mine!

    I've used the sleeves now for 3 nights, one night before the Uwharrie hang and 2 nights there. The Jacks get a Merit award for ingenuity on these--so many uses and so little weight. If you are following the thread about sleeping bags with arm holes etc. the usefullness of the JRB sleeves is obvious.
