I don't have the exact numbers right now, I can weight it when I get home after work. HG's site states that a stock Phoenix iz 16.7 oz, I have 2 oz over fill, but it also has the cuben inner shell, so I would guess roughly 16 oz or so.

52". It is a nice 3/4 length.

Going to have to pass on this. It is coming into our winter soon and thinking about it I tend to only car camp or do short hikes when it is cold so I will probably go with an incubator just for the extra comfort.

Price drop to $200.

I wieghed the UQ this morning before I came to work, with everything included (UQ, suspension, S-Biners, stuff sack) it was 18 oz on my scale.

H Raif,
Maybe a dumb question, but this is cuben on one side, only has a 2oz over-stuff, but weighs in at 25oz? Suspension, bieners and stuff sack weigh half a pound? I'm surprised with half the UQ being cuben it didn't weigh in signifigantly less than the standard Phoenix. Any chance you had the ability to compare it to one of HG's standard Phoenix UQ's? What made you decide to purchase this over one of the others and why are you thinking of selling this baby?

My scale may be off, but that is what it read. I wish I had another Phoenix to compare it to, but I don't. Maybe someone else will chime in with their Phoenix's wieght.

I purchased the Phoenix as apposed to a different 3/4 lenght UQ because I liked the size better, the cuben option, and HG makes some really excellent items. I am selling to fund a different UQ option. I am thinking about trying to go the full length route.

My scale was off. The correct weight for the entire package is 18 oz.

Thanks Raiff,
I have been seriously considering one of these, but I think I may go the full route as well. There is however the advantage of size/weight to a 3/4. I'm wondering if the weight difference is being affected by the additon of the draft collars as well as the the suspension, etc.
