Here's my review :
" The best pace is a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die." ~ Steve Prefontaine
I have a fleece blanket, cut to the same dimensions as a HG Burrow and sewn up with a 1.9 oz ripstop shell. The fleece is great for wicking away sweat, so I don't get that clammy feeling so often and the ripstop does a good job of blocking enough of the breeze (and a bit of rain if I don't deploy my tarp fast enough when that starts). The footbox is made with KAM snaps. It works really well, but it's on the heavy side (~20 oz.). I'd like to make another with thinner fleece (the only stuff I could find when I made it was "heavyweight" - similar thickness to most fleece hoodies).
JRB also sells a similar (but lighter, around 18 oz.) fleece TQ/liner for about $30. Wish I'd known about that one before making one.
I use a LLG Operator 50 for warm weather camping. It's good down to 50 and comfortable enough up to about 65.
Any hotter than that and I bring the Dutchware Quilt Liner. It's under 3 oz., cuts wind and traps just enough body heat for when you need "something" but it's not actually cool.
I'm like Biker Bob. Hot weather I use the SnugPak TQ. Legs owed out of it & when I get cool they go back in the foot box.
