I like that it' s low profile but this is ridiculous. After reattaching all of them, in the morning, 2 of 6 had once again come undone.
3 of 6 loops had worked its way free when I got up in the middle of the night. That means the fabric loop on the quilt can work itself free. I recommend setting it up at home first and marking your pad where you want the 3 cords to be positioned, not doing it on the trail for the first time.īasically, the mitten hooks provided have a permanent gap. I found it convenient and easy to use although I really have to wait until used many, many times to see if the elastic stretches out or stays as is. I just finished a week camping trip in the Grand Canyon and the attachment kept my quilt tucked all around me and I was toasty warm. You wouldn’t think such a simple thing would help keep you warm. This purchase is just a spare kit in case I lose one or all of them. Used them when camping in 25F weather and was roasty toasty warm. Used my Burrow quilt without using these straps and was VERY cold in 40F temps. It works like a dream! If you ever have to 'go to ground,' these are worth the tiny weight and price penalty! I purchased one of these kits (which is cheaper than buying the materials and making it myself) and tested at home.
I fought keeping my top quilt (Burrow) all night. I borrowed a sleeping pad and used my top quilt. Posted by Jim aka bad biscuit on 7th Apr 2020Īlthough I primarily sleep in a hammock, on a recent trip through the Smokey Mountains, I was required to sleep in the sheter one night out of three (I was on the AT). Its big help for a small price and weight penalty. They worked like a charm on both my inflatable and CCF pads. I move around a lot while sleeping and the attachment kit worked perfectly in keeping my quilt in place throughout the night. Was having trouble with cold drafts while using my quilt in conjunction with my sleeping pad. I used it to attach my two hammock gear quilts together and to my sleeping pad. I have only used this for one night of winter camping but it has been great. Set it up seems to be fine will know more when I use it Posted by Robert Boulanger on 2nd Feb 2021
