    FS: Warbonnet Blackbird XLC 1.0

    My guess is the Costco quit plus another 50° quit might get you down into the mid 30s. Get the 20° if you want to hang in the 20s.

    I agree it feels like laying in a plain hammock, but I haven't ever been bothered or even noticed any "squeezing" by the suspension when laying in it.
