    Groovy!

    Well done, look forward to hearing how it hangs in the cold.

    Going right after the holidays, hoping for cold. Today it was 65 degrees. last week it was 42. South Carolina weather is usually pretty drunk.
    I always try to plan a post-holiday hike, that way I have something to look forward to, which keeps me from drinking and suck-starting a shotgun when there are a bunch mall shopping trips to go on between "thanksgiving" and Xmass and the inevitable family get-togethers and guilt trips about not spending the holidays in certain ways and with certain people at certain times.
    It's like, "Hey, take the barrel out of your mouth, in 11 days you'll be HIKING!"

    Just an update, as posted in "Trip Reports" https://theosus1.wordpress.com/2017/...y-hike-review/

    The Taco Wrap performed admirably! I used a hammock gear 0 degree underquilt with 2 ounces of overstuff. For my top insulation I used my 20 degree top quilt with an ounce of overstuff, and my TexSport fleece liner (DIY mummy liner made from a TextSport 55 degree sleeping bag). At the last minute we heard the temps were supposed to be down to 15 with maybe 15mph gusts, so i tossed in a costco down throw. At around 3 am I was a little chilly on top and I wanted to protect my top quilt from falling ice crystals inside the taco wrap, so I pulled out the down throw (and lost my pillow...) and covered up with it. I was plenty warm.
