You'll freeze your azz off with the poncho liners, I've used poncho liners on four continents over 33yrs. Yes, I'm sure the AHE gear is great stuff. I had a KAQ and I still have a DIY Jardine TQ and I can't sleep worth a crap on the ground with it. YMMV.
I'm glad you posted this alternative though. The AHE Lost River looks like a great UQ to get started with, for many it may be all they need. If you can sew, make yourself a summerweight synthetic TQ and see if you can sleep on the ground without having to wake up cold and retuck. Some don't have a problem.
