I have to agree with above. I have used Hilleberg products for years in the deep cold as well as many others have and feel they are top notch gear.
As far as the added weight I think it is worth it...

That may be what they say. It's a spun polyester with not that reflective of a surface. So it may breath alright but is flimsy and both Mors I felt on a recent course not worth the cost to benfit...

The one that Mors has the skeeter net at 14" x 26" wide.
Also you just make the side opening large anuff to crawl in between the layers

Good start Mac !
I think if you make the bug net window larger as the traditional "Mors Scarf"
has and also add some tabs for staking to use as a bivy bag your well on your way to a winner.

I also have found it is not as comfertable without a mat.
I found a wide 24" + long + thick mat works best.
With the insulation of your mat a under quilt is not needed.

Your modified pea pod looks great ! If you can find a xtra wide and long works best. Put a draw string at the foot end.

There would be no problem to deploy the tarp before hand . You would just need two seprate added lines.
