Has anyone used the Arrowhead Jarbidge with the XLC? Debating on what to buy. Will eventually get the Wookie, but I'm married so........

I have the XLC and started with the Arrowhead New River long and it worked fine. I just placed my order for a wookie an hour ago so i'm pretty excited for the "no adjustmant" part since i was always fiddling with the new river.

Yep, used it all summer long and I mean every day. Also used it in the Spring, Fall and stacked it with a New River in Winter.

I will right now, getchya a Dutch Quilt Clip to pin the outside shoulder to the XLC.

Triangle thingies or the like made life much better, really able to lock in the position and once set, it's a no fuss, no muss setup.

My Jarbidge was a little custom in that I asked for it to be a bit wider than standard as I'm a wide fella and I had 2 grosgrain loops sewn about midway on either side. That allowed me to cinch up the sides during cold weather use.

I ran with just my Jarbidge, sleeping outdoors every day, until the temps dropped below the comfort zone, somewhere in the upper 20's.

Love the Jarbidge. Some day I might get a summer down under quilt just because, but I won't sell the Jarbidge because it is just too utilitarian and handy to have around for company. Makes a nice blanket as well.

Do what I did. Get the Wooki and have it sent to your office. Just make sure it's abut the same color as whatever quilt you have now and she'll never notice the difference!

My Wooki just came Monday and hasn't seen temps below about 50, but I'm sold already. Well-built; wicked easy to set up; nod no fiddling around. None.

What's the worst thing that can happen? Your wife finds out, gets mad, and kicks you out of the house. Umm... at least you've got a great place to sleep!
