I just got in my exped wallcreeper sleeping bag and it looks pretty nifty. with a few attachment mods I should be able to use this as an underquilt. I tried it as a peapod with my blackbird hammock but it wasn't too comfortable like that. I used it last night on my porch at 60 degrees using a cheap foam pad and everything was great, temp wise anyway. the bag did have an odor to it, and now it's all over me and most likely on my hammock now too. Is this some sort of "new bag" smell? anyway I got an email into exped and called Mountain Gear.com who I bought it from. mtgear is going to send me another one, and I asked them to check it out first.
I did wear it as a jacket/coat and will have to do something about holding up the bottom as even the regular size is long for me. I can't wait for another cold snap to try this thing out! I also have an exped dam 9 dlx coming so I'll try them out together in the ground mode as I got some trips that require that configuration. I'll of course try it out in my blackbird .......
dang, if it wasn't for that stinky smell I'd almost be ready .......
