View Full Version : My new Incubator!
Got it about one month ago. Started out with a Ptarmagin around Christmas but decided I wanted the full length Incubator for ease of setup. Both are great quilts. As usual Stormcrow's workmanship and service is excellent. I needed the Incubator for a trip and he got it to me right on time.
So far I've only had it down to 29* during a very windy night. Warm and toasty to say the least.
The normal incubator is 28 oz, mine is overstuffed and comes in at 30. The overstuff isn't necessary, just a personal preference of mine.
You can see the huge amount of loft in the pics and Stormcrow's new end suspension system. The UQ is massive. Fits my 6'2" 230lb frame perfectly.
Thanks for viewing.
Shaweeeet! Lots of puffy down. Jealousy comes in differential baffles.

Very nice, same color combo I ordered for my Crowsnest.
Now if only I could speed up time so I could get my UQ...
Looks just like mine. I had it overstuffed a little too, probably a waste but that's normal for me. I've had it down to about 9˚. I could probably go to zero with a hand warmer under me.

Feel free. Thanks again for your patience and delivering a quality product.
That looks exactly like mine..although I had Storm go lite on the down.
I did get to break it in on my stand inside.... but its first overnight outdoor hang happened with a newbie. He stuck it out for 2 nights in blustery 32 degree, snowing and rain. So it must have kept him warm.
Storm... Thanks again for the quality work.

Is the outer layer water-resistant or waterproof?

The outer shell has a DWR finish to it. So that means it remains breathable but it will shed light moisture. It is important that the outer shell have some breathability and not be waterproof. It is a condensation thing.

I thought that was the case but thought I'd ask. Thanks stormcrow for the reply.
(May have to get me one of those...)
I've got 5 nights with my incubator now. Here's something i noticed, took a few nights to figure it out. Not stormcrows fault. On my blackbird, with the shelf staked out, the shelf seems to interfere with the hang of the quilt and cause some gaps for cold air sneak in. Once adjusted properly the incubator is toasty! :thumbup:

I just got my 3-Season Incubator and Burrow, as well as a prototype pillow, yesterday. I can't wait to try them out. I have the olive green just like Hulk. Good to know about the shelf. I'll make adjustments accordingly.
