I like it. I don't have a rpoblem getting in or out but I do have the Explorer so it is a little bigger. For money I think it is best setup available for the HH. But it has to be used with the space blanket/ Heat Sheet. I've got a couple of vids on the Super Shelter in the vid section.
I've taken it into the teens with a cheapo coleman 0* sleeping bag. You can buy lighter but I don;t think you can get better _for the money_.

The only choices that come close to the price/performance of the SS is a KAQ Potomac (http://kickassquilts.com/about/) and a JRB Shenandoah (http://www.jacksrbetter.com/Rectangular%20Quilts.htm#Shenandoah). Both are more expensive. KAQ, like SS, is synthetic. Shenandoah is down. I have no experience with a Shenandoah.
I do have a KAQ and a SS, never a problem with either, have used both to sleep comfy in the teens, and have used them together in the teens.
If I could only have one of them, I'd keep the KAQ.
