Pics?
Experience with it?
TIA!

+1 on this.... been trying to get a little more info too. I just may "pull the trigger" when I get paid next week and pick one up for some testing.
I'm curious as to how it packs, how it wraps around you (my IX UQ seems a tad stiff) and it's warmth.
Those just came out, so there won't be any review info yet. If you pick one up, do post about it...

I'll have a bit of $$ to blow next pay, so I guess I'll pick one up and post a report or something. I may even get the nerve to try a video. Don't hold me to that though!
Personally, I'm fairly confident this will be an excellent TQ for 30F and up. Always helps to be optimistic ya' know!
I'd buy one right now in anticipation for use during the Ozark hang if I knew how small it could pack down.
I have one... got after the cold set in last fall, so I have not used it by itself. It works extremely well as a supplement to another TQ. It also works well when you sleep fully clothed.
I would expect it to do well down to 50*F without anything else. When it gets warmer, I will try it.
Last night, I was reading "Dangerous River" by RM Patterson. He walked out from the South Nahani in winter with only his clothing, a tarp and a wool blanket for shelter. He said he was a warm sleeper, but, geez! He lay down next to a fire fully clothed, wrapped up in the blanket, with the tarp to windward, and slept in -45*F!

Here it is in it's stuff sack, next to a Dasani 1L bottle and a 16 oz can of coffee.

Thank you sir. That looks pretty small and I'm guessing it will compress a little more when you put it in a pack with other things. I'm also thinking it would be fine to shove it into a pack with no stuff sack and not have to worry much about getting wet because it's synthetic.
