    I just bought a pair after my last hang in cool temps. I spend a lot of the night with one arm above my head (out of the quilt's cover) and it gets chilly. I figure the sleeves will be used with my JRB quilt.

    I just bought a JRB down hood. Just 2.5oz and it's going to do a much better job of keeping my head warm this winter than my stocking cap. It's the 1st purchase I've made from JRB. I'm impressed! Great quality. And it arrived sooner than I expected. I may need to get the sleeves to go along with the down vest I have.

    I was excited to see the end of summer sale, but disappointed that the Mt Washington 3 isn't on sale. I totally don't need the extra warmth of the 4-season, but sure would have loved to save a few bucks.

    work ethic/company ethic

    For those who've done business with the Jacks you'd readily admit that the products are top notch, service excellent, arrival time sometimes seemingly instantaneous and they are available right here or on your phone anytime you might have a question.

    Another convert. Get the collar mod kit and sew it onto your down vest.

    Except that I also want to use it with my quilt, I'd consider doing that. I've thought about adding velcro to the vest ... since the hood already has velcro attached. I'll try it out a few times before doing anything permanent.

    You can do it either way. The free magic/velcro is on the "inside" of the hood. You can just fasten the velcro in front of your neck and it'll stay in place for quilt sleeping. Or you can fasten it to the applied velcro on any stand up collar, you just turn the hood inside out. I believe Smee said that he can push a No-Sniveler into the teens wearing a down vest with an attatched JRB Hood. JRB will send you instructions, I believe they are also at their site somewhere.

    Thanks, T-a-K. I just checked out JRB's website and read the instructions. (Not something I normally do). Now, I'm even more impressed with the hood. However, I wish now I would have waited a week to buy it ... since it's on sale. Oh well, I'll consider the extra $10 bucks a contribution to keep good, USA quality coming to the hammock world.
