Placed an order with Pan & Smee (Jacks-R-Better) Friday evening, it was setting on my doorstep Monday when I got home. Those guys are great!! Also they have always answered my email questions quickly. Give em a shot and you won't be disappointed.

I couldn't agree more. Top notch service.

Jack T. = Peter Pan
Jack M. = Smee
And most of JacksRBetter's stuff is GREEN...see a theme?
Jack, can't wait to see the new stuff you were talking about. Did you see the quilt/pants at BPL? Might be a good idea for the Nest. Coupled with the NS/poncho that would be a full insulated suit.
Hehe - I don't think I'd use a law firm named "Pan and Smee" though... :D

I totally agree they do provide a great product and do provide the best customer service. You can't go wrong by buying from them. :)

This is the Sheriff.... not really ...my wife says that I'd have to grow up to become sheriff.... thanks for the compliments...
BTW, a week ago, all of this years customers got an email announcing the JRB Early Bird Stocking Stuffer Sale this month.... 20-50 percent off all accessories and the winter Old Rag Mtn quilt for the no snivelling price... so we are letting you in on it, since none of them shared the announcement...

No - Bill Fornshell posted pics of an old REI half-bag that converts to pants with suspenders. I think it was in the "wearable quilts" thread. With some tinkering, I think the Nest could be turned into pants. Actually, I'm gonna go get mine right now and start playing.
Jeff you got to post a pic of you wearing the nest as pants and the No Sniveller as a coat. Now that is stylish.

Jeff, et al,
The Nest does convert into wearable pants.... the area over the crotch is all that remains open... This spot is easily covered by the lower front of the wearable No Sniveller top... When the hood and sleeves are used the JRB Threee Season Set will encase the wearer other than the feet, hands and a three inch circle infront of the nose and mouth.... Put on oversized Dri Ducks and you have a winter Snow suit ranging from 2-4 inches thick...

that`s interresting... a little heavy (the original piece), but i`m sure bill will get it lightened -up. i found it by clicking on bill`s name, then clicking on "see all threads started by bill". ...tim

There was a picture of this in our local Newspaper Daily Press, last Spring.... We are going hiking in a day, but when we get back next week, we'll suit up and take a picture so that it can be posted.

I put the Nest on last night...the footbox velcro only comes up to my knees, so everything above my knees was hanging open. I took a few pics...I'll try to get them up today.

Jeff,
See post 8....you got it right....dri ducks go a long way to completing the system and the NS front covers the open area...try it you'll see what I mean.

I just posted pictures with and without the Dri-Ducks. I guess they'll be available as soon as a moderator approves them.
OK. I screwed something up loading the pictures last night. Here's the one without the Dri-Ducks.

Looks like the Stay-Puff marshmallow man had an accident with green paint. ;) :)
I just figured out in a Speer style hammock I can leave the next attached but push it off to the side. That way it is hanging next to my hammock for when it is warm out and not needed.
Everyone else probibly knew this, but coming from a HH, I thought it was cool.

Awsome products and service. I just got some of their new suspension lines for my boys to us in their hammocks. Plus some of those lighter caribeeners.
I have a lot of good stuff from them.
Excellent job guys!

man, that`s great demonstration jeff! i hope you & the jacks are talking about new possibilitys<G>.
last trail days (06) i talked to jack & jack about some of my ideas that were partly fuled by the no sniveler.
that is to have the hole near the top, alowing you to bring the quilt around you in front to close like a jacket. this would also include two arm-holes designed very much like the neck-hole.
my idea for the head/arm holes is like i`ve already described elsewhere... a slit W/ a short, insulated collar. this collar has a channel for a draw string on the outside, half way up the collar. the cord used is a light elastic cord w/ a micro cord lock.
when this elastic cord is tightened, it gentaly snugs the insulated collar around your neck/arms with out that choking feel.
when loosened, ...ventilation.
when not in use, pull the cord through the micro cord locks to compleatly close off the holes.
when sleeping in the cold, put your head through the head hole & lay your head on the flap beyond it. this greatly reduses hot/cold air exchange at the top of your sleep system, even when you roll. there again the head hole can be loose for venting or closed for heat retention.
this type of collar is easy to make. i have one on the top cover of the insulated winter hammock i made last winter. works great!
i`ve continued to think about & play around w/this concept, just haven`t made a proto-type yet. guess i better get busy, or jeff`s going to beat me to it<G>. ...tim
