Hey all. I'm looking at different options for my TQ and in comparing the different brands and choices - I'm kind of at a loss for where to go. This would be my first TQ. I currently use a sleeping bag, and I'm asking for this TQ as an anniversary/birthday gift (May/June), so I'm content to wait for it and use my sleeping bag in the meantime.
I'm a female, 5'3, very cold sleeper, 3 season camper. I'm going with the 20* bag and a snap/drawcord type of footbox because I like the idea of being able to open it when I want, even though I am generally cold. The thing I hate about my mummy sleeping bag is that my feet are so **** tight in there, and apparently I like to move my legs around (and apart) when I sleep at times, so I'd like to try this footbox as something different.
I've narrowed down my options to the 3 below (I think), and have listed the specs that I think are important to me. I did look at UGQ's Renegade, but for the price ($310) and extra weight ($19.13), I took it off as an option.
Also, in looking at the EE Revelation in comparison to these other 2 - it seems that they use a zipper at the bottom instead of snaps, correct? Can anyone speak to the difference in using one vs. the other? Also, can someone explain to me the advantages of having the straps on the EE Revelation for hammock users? Or is this just for those who use it in a tent with a sleeping pad? And if that's the case, do they come off? I wouldn't want them hanging on there if I wouldn't need to use them.
I appreciate any insight, experience, or other things I should be considering. Thanks!
