    I was not expecting a saturday delivery. So that was kinda a bonus early delivery.

    Anyway, it arrived this AM.

    Looks very warm. I can't wait to test it out (maybe next weekend).

    The green-macaw green combo looks great.
    Makes me wonder if my Macaw green-glacier combo was the right choice or not. Have to wait till it is in my hands to be sure.

    I notice in your gear you have 2x tubes (I assume the red IRC bags are tubes).
