EB Packable Down Throw

[WisMike]

I believe they were listed at $70 at the Eddie Bauer outlet near me, now listed at 50% off which would be $35. They have a ton of them, several dozen if I recall. I have an entertainment book coupon that is $10 off a $50 or more purchase at EB. I did not get one as I wanted to do a bit more research, but for $35 it looks like the price is not too bad and I may go back tonight. I bought a LaFuma sleeping bag earlier this year for "warm weather" camping and I think this might be an even better solution. Probably is lighter and certainly packs smaller than a sleeping bag. If I pick it up I may even get to use it next weekend so I can try to report back if anyone is interested. (Note I am not a hammock user, I just joined a while back to contact some folks about the North Country Trail in Wisconsin, but I very much appreciate the site)

Here's another thread on it.

Here's my thread on making the throw into a UQ.

I'd say this is a nice piece of kit for a UQ (not long enough for a TQ IMHO), wouldn't trust it much colder than 50* though (also IMHO).
