My New HG Zero Set - Titanium Wide Burrow w/ snaps (gasp!) and Green Incubator

[Sintax77]

I was super excited to get my hands on my new deep winter quilt set today - Green HG Incubator 0° (26.5 oz w/ stuff sack) and a wide Titanium Burrow 0° (25.75 oz w/ stuff sack). I couldn't resist running contrary to general consensus, so yes, I went with snaps instead of a sewn foot box on my wide Burrow. I've grown to really love the snaps on my Burrow 40° and also anticipate using my Zero in situations that it may be overkill - since my other bag is a 40, waaay at the other end of the spectrum.

Just to continue the theme of keeping things interesting, I also plan to test the Burrow 0° on the ground with a sleeping pad, during an upcoming snowshoeing trip in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Hopefully, we'll get some brutal temps up there, so I can share the results in my next vid. Can't wait

Here are some pics for those interested.

Fully opened. You can see that the wide Burrow makes for a nice amount of coverage. You could probably ground sleep 2 people under this thing in more modest weather. Assuming your camping partner is down for some light spooning, that is.

Fully aware that my 40° Burrow had a bit of a gap in the foot box area when cinched, I took a bit of a gamble and expected that the Burrow 0° would have an even smaller gap, due to the increased volume of down. If I was wrong, I could simply plug it up with my stuff sack on colder nights, but as you can see in the side-by-side picture, there's virtually no gap present on the Burrow 0°. Nice

Yeah, man. I'm using the weight savings to bring along my wife's gi-normous Big Agnes Q-Core SL wide to test it with. Paired up with the wide Burrow, I'm hoping to be sleeping about as classy as one can on the ground. Heck, even if I brought an additional fleece throw as a top sheet, the total weight for all three would still be a couple ounces less that my previous bag alone (Kelty Cosmic Zero, 4lbs!).

Of course, after ground testing, I'll be have to take it out for a solo trip somewhere frosty to run the whole rig on my hammock, it's true home

I just got a 0 degree set. It got used well at Nehha and the NJ hang. Now I want an extrawide titanium one.
