    Derek Hanson reviewed it....he seemed to like it......http://theultimatehang.com/2015/12/t...warmer-review/

    When I tested the Warmer indoors, I was able to use it by itself, but just slightly. Our thermostat hovers around 68°F (20°C) in the winter, slightly cooler in some rooms. I’d guess I got down to around 65°F (18°C) with the Warmer alone and felt comfortable, but any colder and I would need something extra. Warm sleepers may be able to use the Warmer alone a few degrees lower.

    I used it on my Clark and definitely felt the reflection of warmth. According to the weather man that was in the low 50's. I'm very happy with it, almost no weight and works. Can't ask for more. I'm also thinking it could be used to protect an IQ from some splashing from rain.

    I've been wondering about their use as an UQ protector as well. I may pick up two from MEC and give them a whirl. Would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this usage.

    When I used it with the Clark I have the extra pockets under me and the fleece quilt liner from JRB and I thought it was very comfortable. However I am considering replacing the side cords with shock cords. Almost forgot I did add 4 buttons to line up with the stake out loops and used those elastic things my daughter uses in her hair .That helps hold the slacker just where I want it. Next test will be with my ENO jungle next!

    If you read his review, he says there was not any.
    From the Review.....
    I expected to see some condensation when I tested the Warmer, but night after night I couldn’t feel any moisture build up. I tried testing indoors and outdoors in temperatures down to 25°F (-4°C) without any condensation.
