    Enlightened Equipment sub-forum?

    Hey all, just curious why Enlightened Equipment does not have its own sub-forum. They make some of the most popular top quilts around and have recently redone their under quilts.

    In order to get a sub-forum, there needs to be a sufficient volume of posts. It took a long time until Ripstopbytheroll got their own sub-forum, and there were a lot more posts about their stuff than about Enlightened Equipment. Seems like the people using EE don't talk much about it here. Which is a pity, because I would like to read more about their gear.

    I would like to see an EE sub-forum. But I think, as 'hutzelbein' said, there needs to be sufficient interest, and posts referencing EE gear, to warrant a slot of its own.
    I think EE keeps a pretty close watch on the forum because when a question or discussion about their equipment comes up they often have some helpful information to offer.
    Maybe we just need more "my EE is on its way!", or "just ordered an EE!", or "EE is the best!" posts to show our interest (just kidding - sort of)

    Exactly what hutzelbein & Passinthru have said. While some might perceive that sub forums are for vendors they are actually not. They are meant as a way to for the moderators to sort messages as we are going through them. EE is not even close to being something that needs to be sorted out by it's self.

    I have an EE quilt . They have good quality but are far more expensive than most vendors.

    Me and Mrs. Kenbo both have EE top quilts. They are perfect...nothing to talk about.

    I own two EE converts, a 0* and a 20*. The convert is the one that zips up the middle like a sleeping bag. No more having a top quilt come un-tucked when I roll over and freezing my butt off in the middle of the night. One is 21 oz and the other is 26 oz. I love them both

    Enlightened Equipment sub-forum?

    I've got an EE 50 degree synthetic UQ for summer. It weights like 10 oz. and has served me well.
