No ones going crazy about the new sidecar alternative?

Haha once paired with my Squidbilly-custom 12x12.5 winter tarp (affectionately nicknamed the "Taj Mahal"), I shall also need my own zip code... I can start charges my subjects rent

This is really cool and very ingeniously made. Took a couple minutes to wrap my head around which zipper goes where but it’s fairly simple. The camo is nice!

This looks interesting. I’d love to see a video of these in action.

Three night report.

1) first night. Normal set up with Costco quilts. Easy and comfy lay with foot end higher up. Stored my cell phone, extra sweatshirt, and cap. Woke up after EIGHT glorious hours, no issues. Head right and feet left

2) second night, no set up changes. 3am woke up in a goofy spot with my head half in the saddlebag. Same issue two more times. I normally sleep head left and feet right so I figured I’d swap it before the next night and that I was just a restless sleeper that night. Same items stored.

3) third night. Actually got out and hopped in bed with the wife about fifteen minutes ago. Not really sure if it’s second guessing or what but it’s couldn’t get comfortable. Kept laying awake wondering if I should get up and swap it to the other side again. Important note: saddlebag was empty. Maybe the extra weight in the bag helps keep it off to the side but it felt like the thing was in my face all night. Kind of like laying in a too wide hammock.

I’ll have to revisit. Take more time to dial in the hang but it felt like extra fabric that was a distraction to what I’m used to sleeping in. Serves the purpose of interior storage for larger items but I’d pick a shelf and RL organizer if I was going out for a few days.

🤷🏻*♂️still think it’s pretty it’s pretty neat-o.

Just wondering.

Carry forth then. I just got one so curious.

0922181443.jpg I like it!!! I tried putting it opposite of my side car, but stuff ends up sliding down because that's "the wall" side. So, I switched the side car for the side sling and it's awesome! I can fit my 20 degree quilt in there length wise so when I hop in I can just pull the quilt over and done!
