I went with a sewn footbox on my 3S Burrow which will also be my Winter TQ for all but the coldest conditions (warm sleeper).
I'm going to order a Summer Burrow with the snaps for ultimate versatility!

I have one of Adam's older 3S burrows that I got in a trade. It has the omni tape to seal up the footbox but I like the idea of the ties. The omni tape has a way of coming undone, I think gremlins get hold of it and open it up, but being able to tie it closed and having the omni tape to seal in colder temps might be a good solution for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Mine both have snap's, But I did get an extra snap higher than standard so I can close it up for a bit of overlap with my 3/4 UQ's underneath. Just found I had a bit of a gap with the standard snap height loaner the HG team sent me to get me on the trail due to a postage stuff up.
If I was camping in really cold weather and had a dedicated winter TQ, I'd go sewn for sure.

There, It's out. I said it, Ahh I feel better now
My custom summer burrow using momentum 50 is in the making right now. I'm using the lace up style as well. It cuts off about an oz. I wanted to be able to open it up.
Can anyone tell me if there is a weight difference between the snaps and sewn footbox? I'm sure even if there is its not enoug to matter, just curious.
I don't have a burrow yet but in my head, I have no clue which one I'd get. I think I'm leaning more toward sewn foot box.
I think he's getting something similar to what I have. Here's my video:

Mr Akers did get a custom closure for his footbox. It was a lace system similar to the one we made for Mr Perez. I don't think it shaved quite an ounce but as we know...it all adds up. I am quite jealous of BOTH of their quilts. I WILL have one in the near future I think. Since I plan to be at Trail Days, I suppose I will just HAVE to make one for display purposes.

P.S. By the way, I do not think I have said so yet but I absolutely loved that video, Raul! It cracks me up every time I look at it. Outstanding work my friend!
