One more major company getting in on the action:

Their new 20 degree Wallcreeper looks good, though a little pricey:

Bout time they made a warmer version!

It looks like it has those same narrow little lines from hammock body to suspension that the Byer's Amazonas Hammocks have. Stuff is difficult to keep from tangling when packed. $55 isn't too bad of a price, but you'd think they'd find a model that could find a more comfortable looking pose.

My thought exactly....

Did you see the woman under the bug-netting? She looks just plain mad!

The lines in the product photo look like they're tangled already

That Wallcreeper in one expensive imported bag, you can buy the original Winter Wren from Feathered Friends (US made) for about the same. If I could own only one sleeping bag/quilt, it would be a Winter Wren ordered overstuffed and with a 50 inch zipper so it could be used as a quilt when it was too warm to zip it up.

Isn't the Wren over $300? The Wallcreeper is only $175 for a medium (regular). At $125 I don't think they qualify as "about the same". But, given the choice between a synthetic like the Wallcreeeper and a down like the Wren I, like you, think it's a pretty easy choice: Wren wins.

Yeah, she's probably thinking..."Where's the Blackbird".

I don't know what it is, but she ain't happy.

I must be looking at the wrong thing, my computer says:

Colors:
Terracotta/Charcoal
Sizes: Medium
MSRP: $310.00 USD Style #: 12560

Sizes: Large
MSRP: $330.00 USD Style #: 12561

Regardless, still would be nice to have one either way!
