Hi there
I have one of these but made by Trakker it is a goretex/pile version. It is quilt large and designed to cover a carp fishing bedchair. Mine packs down about the size of a cheap sleeping bag.
Adds lots of extra warmth over a bag in winter, and can be used as a blanket in summer. Its waterproof too.. Good bit of kit I've been using for fishing both in a bedchair and hammock... not however a piece of kit I carry when hiking any distance.
cheers

Exactly what Gareth said, it's basically a waterproof blanket with a thermal layer and fleece inside.
In the photo it's on a bed chair but I tested it in my hammock the other night and it was great. Not for the dead of winter though but from March-October I reckon it'll be great.

It was probably just me being daft , but from the pic couldn't quite make me mind up what I was looking at lol

I just tucked it in around my edge, didn't double it over or anything. It can't fall out of my Warbonnet hammock so I don't know if it would be prone to do so.
I might get a photo on Sunday.
Though it's good, it isn't as good as my ukhammocks one, so if you're thinking of getting a UK Hammocks one, this is not an alternative. It is more bulky and heavy and not as warm. If you were thinking about sacrificing a cheep sleeping bag to make one though, this one is an option. I purchased it to go over my sleeping bag on a us type camp cot for under a tarp in thick fog a few weeks ago... loads of dew, the underside of my tarp was soaked and dripping and it kept me and my sleeping bag dry and warm.
