Thanks Shug. Are you aware of any other companies that make them? Today I held the ENO one and the wing material looked very skinny. It made me think that the foam in it might not get the job done in 20-30* weather.

There aren't any others in production that I know of. 20f would probably be pushing it. IMHO, it's more of a summerish 3-season option by itself. It would supplement an UQ or other insulation to go lower. I imagine you could modify the ENO by taking out the stock padding and replacing it with smaller but thicker foam-- the compromises being obvious I think. You might be able to glue or tape more foam on the back side too.

Ultimately, if you want to hang with icesickles, an UQ is in your future

It makes a good lightweight and inexpensive insulation system that allows you to go to ground if needed. I had one of the original Speer SPE's and sold it. I'm about ready to buy the ENO for my super light summer setup.

I was thinking about getting some omni tape and using the Jacks R Better quilt wings.

Is skinny thin or narrow?

Good feedback thank you. May have to get the ENO and try it out. I was feeling that its to "thin"

Depending on temp range you are trying for I agree. OTOH if you stay with less compressible insulation like Polartec fleece it will help. If I was using one I would also use a pile or polartec top in cooler weather. Heavy sweater would probably also work but they are heavy. Down will compress flat thus offering little insulation.

Jared at Simply Light Design makes/sells them, you supply the foam. He does great work and can customize anything.
