Not Chinese brand. American brand, Chinese made.
My thought on one of their products.
I did give it away.

OV 20º Aerie
I slept out in it last week as a test. Did not film, just getting to know it. Got down to 23ºF.
They sent me the 20º Aerie. Set it up as a UQ and a pod to see how it hung.
As a pod it is pretty good...you can get on an angle in the hammock. I'm 6' and was ok. As in most pods there is a gap up by the head over left shoulder for me. But slip a TQ inside and you could for sure get down to some colder temps.
As a UQ you have to set it up just right. I stretched my suspension tightly and hooked it up by cinch buckles on hammock suspension to get it to stretch out and get it to come up right against my buttocks and back.
Slept in a partial pod arrangement. Set up like pod but unzipped to knees.
Seemed to work best. Kept the bottom up against me that way.
I crawled in around 10PM and slept warm until about 4:30 AM. Started to get a bit cold on the buttocks then.
As it functions in a bag, pod and UQ and blanket so the 18 ounces of down gets distributed on top, sides and bottom. Less on the bottom as a normal 20º UQ.
The nice thing of the Aerie is that a person can use it an a bag, pod, UQ or top blanket.
Zippers are sticky...you have to be vigilant in holding back the inner zip tape and top flap. I hate zippers!
Seems to be baffled and not sewn through. Seemed to light on down.
If looking for JUST a UQ then I don't think this is it. But if needed a piece of gear that is Multi Function then for the price it is just OK.
Made in China.
