Hammock Gear Custom Wide 20°F Burrow TQ. SOLD.
I had this made to suit ground and hammock camping. Sad to see this one go as it's been the best sleeping bag/TQ I have owned so far.
Black outer with silver inner.
6" wider than standard, 56" total width at shoulders. I'm 5'11", 78kgs and 40" chest. This TQ has plenty of width for ground camping, it wraps right around you except for a small 6" gap at your back. (Which is on the pad anyway if you ground camp)
2oz Overfill. (14oz total fill)
At the time of purchase this had the 900+ fill upgrade which actually made this a 15°F quilt + the overfill for added warmth (It was an option then that you had to pay more for over 800 fill)
It has 2" baffles but the single side loft is over 3" as you can see in the picture (Toilet roll for universal loft comparator)
Sorry but the snapped/closed up picture is lame and was straight after I pulled it from the stuff sack, I hadn't allowed it to loft at all which I know I should have for the picture.
Snap footbox but I had Stormcrow add an extra 2 snaps so it closes up to above knee height if you want. This is really helpful when it's used on a ground pad.
Also it has two pairs of loops on each edge so you can bungie it closed around you when ground camping.
Weight is 687 grams or 24.2oz. Comes in the original ripstop stuff sack.

I've slept in this at -°7C and was toasty (Which coincidentally was right on the 20°F rating). I wouldn't hesitate taking it well under this. The overfill and high quality down really make this a warm TQ.

I recieved this TQ January 2011. Has seen around 20 nights use all up but I hand washed it with down wash and dried it properly in March just gone.
Allways stored uncompressed in a large cotton sack in a wardrobe in the house. Smoke free user and house.
