Thinking of buying one. 25% off at Backcountry.com

A local store here in AZ by ASU happen to have them in stock. I tried it out and liked the design. I'm not sure that I'd take it over a burrow or flight jacket however, it weighs 1 lb 7 oz for being rated a 30 degress, whereas the Burrow for example is just over 1 lb and rated for 20 degrees for $10 more than that sale price. It is a little larger than most quilts, which can be a good thing if that is what you're looking for.

Thanks for the advice. Where can I purchase a Burrow?

Burrow is a model name from Hammock Gear. Here's the link....Go Dawgs!!! http://www.hammockgear.com/burrow-20/

I think most on this forum would highly recommend staying with the "cottage vendors" making specialty hammock equipment mostly here in the USA. The reasons are many but for me, quality cannot be surpassed-especially compared to products made in factories overseas, and customer support is great-you get to speak with the people making your gear and they are glad to take the time to talk with you and get you what you need. I personally have experience with Hammock Gear and Wilderness Logics for quilts and Dutch and Hammeck for hammocks but I'm sure no matter which of the cottage vendors you choose you'll be happy with your purchase! PS-watch Shug's and other videos found on this site and Youtube-best way to learn the game!

Thanks a lot Clisby. Great handle. "Hunker down hairy dawgs!"

I will dig a little deeper to check out these cottage vendors. Have a great Memorial Day. Best, BK
