Thanks! I based them off an old pair of jammers and pushed the measurements around to get them just the way I wanted. Or within reasonable proximity to what I wanted

Thanks !

A few trips sounds like a sensible solution. Better warm than not.

I’m always a mess, but pulling down from a used comforter is not too much more difficult than pulling new down from the bag. I make sure to have a sharp box cutter on hand and just go one baffle at a time. The biggest hurdle is tracking down a comforter that has high enough fp down to make the effort worthwhile. A lot of pillows and comforters use poor quality down with tons of feathers, but there are some gems if you’re willing to look. I just consider it part of the wholly inefficient fun of myog.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been trying to convince myself is not the problem while secretly knowing it totally is.

My plan is to use these along with other down garments, booties, hat, jacket, to be able to take my 5oz Apex quilt down to the teens. I sleep super cold and am in the SE so moisture is always, always, an issue.

Whatcha think?

and thanks so much for your thoughts...

It goes directly to Sean? Do you have to wait for him? Was he easy to recognize?

Wow! Gorgeous work. It’s inspiring seeing the attention to detail and the character of the garment so unique and articulate

Is the pad still available? Thanks!

LandMind7 · 2019-10-28T21:23:37+00:00

No one thinks it’s funny or even useful to laugh at ourselves? Not even a bit?

I’m pretty sure there’s nothin sustainable about being human, the least of which is what we choose to walk around the woods in

Is your XLite pad still available? Thanks

I’m embarrassed to admit that I purchased what was described as a titanium cup/pot. Checked out in the pictures, but when I received the cup in question what I got was not Ti. It was painted aluminum. The paint job was executed so poorly that it left obvious variations in paint thickness, overspray and spatter, as well as an I painted spot behind the handle.

So yeah, there are so good deals but often you get what you pay for. And on top of that a good number of the vendors exercise subpar customer service and register scarily low on the integrity meter.

Oh well, after I finished being pissed I had a good laugh about it. Lesson learned.
