    Interested in the performance of the 0°(XL) as well, but also for the taller folks(6'1+). I've seen a couple accounts of feet and/or head hanging over the edges a little for some. I wouldn't mind the head so much, but I'm not fond of the idea of my heels hanging off. Thanks

    Old video I posted a while ago in other thread for reference - he was 6 foot 3

    He could scoot back a bit and heels would be on the quilt but there ya go

    At 6-1 you would be on it fine I think

    You'd have to be laying with your heels beyond the footbox for that to happen, in which case you'd just re-position yourself slightly farther toward the head end. I don't think this will be much of an issue for anyone

    I slept in mine for the first time last night and yes, hang feet higher so that you are in the proper position. If you peek at your outside foot it can appear to be barely covered but the way the Wookie is cut it is angling the right way towards the centerline of the hammock and covering you feet well.

    0 deg Wookie used in cold weather yet?

    I ran mine last weekend in Ohio, it got down to about 15degress! I'm running
    Superfly in porch mode
    Xlc double
    0 degree black TQ
    0 degree UC
    Reflectix between the XLC layers

    I had on UA long johns, tshirts and hoodie. At 430 I was pouring the sweat on both mornings! Everyone else complained about being cold! I was snug as a bug in a rug. I do see a UQP in my future

    I would stay away from the reflectix unless you absolutely needed it. The only time I've had condensation or sweating issues was with that stuff. I feel you may be losing the temperature regulation abilities of the underquilt by using it. I just got back from a backpacking trip with a setup like yours(minus reflectix) and was fine from the teens to high 40s without overheating. I do use the winter top cover under 40 and haven't had moisture issues yet, but learned the hard way last year to not set up camp near water(had a snow storm in my hammock in the sawtooth mountains). I feel the 0* Wookie would be fine for most people down to 10* easy without the extra reflectix or uqp(I sleep cold).

    Had mine to 14 degrees Fahrenheit Sunday night with UQP, bugnet, and 20 degree Mamba. Cozy and toasty.
