PLEASE NOTE: The HUG is minimalist by design! It works best as part of a system with an under quilt and top quilt/sleeping bag. I designed it 1) to appeal to the lightweight/ultralight crowd and 2) appeal to those who want easy in/out with a bug net.
Ultralighters know that lightweight gear and systems often require vigilance that isn't always necessary with traditional gear (e.g., tarp shelters vs. dome tents; trail runners vs. boots; lightweight packs vs. traditional packs). You have to use them differently.
I am working on a new HUG design that is more "secure" and less dependent on other systems that I hope to unveil shortly. Keep hangin'!
