hippy-
Do you find it is actually pretty practical and not just a silly weight weenie thing? I'd eyed those up, and found the OMM Raid PA which is half the price but probably many magnitudes worse, but as it's pretty niche theres not much out there.
Someone I know is working on an upcycling program and Ive suggested making half quilts from old fucked up down jackets, but I don't think we'll see one come into existence very soon

Has anyone on here used one of those elephant's foot half bag sleeping bag things, or found a good very packable smaller quilt? I'm looking to reduce my sleeping kit pack size by using the down jacket I'll have anyway as my top half sleeping bag. Another option I'm considering is a merino bag liner instead of a sleeping bag (plus jacket on)
Ideally I'll end up with something good for use in a small tent as well as a bivvy, but mostly I've got some events coming up and I'm getting scared about both not being able to carry stuff and getting cold. First event I think is definitely a bivvy job
