[tnaratil]

Hammock World,

We just pulled the trigger on 0' Outdoor Vitals Mummy Bag $180 to use as top quilts. It seems like this may work out well as a top quilt. I will give a full review when the temps get close to its rating.







Specs:

- Grid Design: The Summit 0°F was designed to lock the down into individual sections while not compressing the down with its "none sew through design!"
- Internal Filling: 800 fill power (90% Down / 10% feather) duck down! Giving you top of the line loft for the weight and compactability. Regular Model contains 700 grams/1.54lbs of down. Long Model contains 750 grams/1.65lbs of down.
- External Shell: 20D Rip-stop Polyester. Repels moisture and retains lightweight design!

- Weight: The Regular Model only weighs 2 lbs 12 oz!! Add 4 oz for the compression bag so the package weighs in at 3lbs! The Long Model only weighs 2 lbs 15 oz!! Add 4 oz for the compression bag and that's a total weight of 3 lbs 3 oz!

Gear just arrived. Here are pics. Looks like it will work out well. I will give detail specs soon. 20161024_124456.jpg20161024_124603.jpg20161024_125024.jpg20161024_125032.jpg20161024_125104.jpg

Not bad for $180 I guess...I hope it keeps you warm. I'm curious how it compares to a 20 degree TQ that's half the weight.

I've been looking at these for a little bit now. Just haven't had the guts to buy in yet. What size did you get, and do they fit you?

I will let you know. I hope its not a case of pay now or pay later as it is most of time when trying to save a buck.

I got the long size and yes it fits great as a top quilt. I am 6'1 and have room to spare. The hood actually creates a nice big neck baffle. I am broad and have not tried to use as a bag. I did notice that my bag is 1 inch shorter than my wife's. I measured with my body and with a tape. So not sure if QC is an issue. I am going to weight tonight to see if weight is on point for both of them. I swear my bag has less loft than hers but she said I am crazy. Not sure if it was warehouse longer.

The ultimate test will be the outdoors. We need a winter UQ though. Looking at the UGQs since they are 48inch W.

I hear running a down sleeping bag in a dryer with no heat for 5 minutes will help with the loft on a stored bag. I'm on the fence between the OV, the Hyke & Byke version, or the Aegismax. As far as UQs Ive got a 20° Zepplin from UGQ and couldn't be happier. Keep us updated on the Field Test
