HA! Thanks, O N B! I think you are right about some of these old threads! And in that old poll, mostly from 2012, but one from 2014, I think there is a lot of good info on the subject of the HHSS. It actually works great for far more than I would have ever thought. As of 2014, their had been 74 votes cast. 51% found it more than adequate for the weight, bulk and money, and they like it. So there are at least 37 of us out there! LOL!
64% said either "Condensation was manageable, and I was warm down to 40F with the basic system." OR lower than 40F. (23% were only good to 40F, the way I read it, but that ain't bad) 8% were warm below 20F with the basic system, which I find amazing. What I also find amazing is that ONLY 10% "warm well below 20F by adding unworn clothing or other insulation in the undercover", I would have thought at least 60%. And also that ONLY 34% found "the UC provides significant extra wind/rain/snow/fog protection, which is a big plus!". I would have thought 75% on that one.
But overall, it looks like plenty of folks have found it to be a useful system. Because after all, even down UQs have plenty of learning curve related problems, based on the # of threads over the years stating that. They can be great, but they can also be tricky!
