Have just emailed Snugpak about having underside a lighter colour. Cant see a problem there.
Is it time to start taking orders yet?

Just like that! My JRB Stealth has one, and it's a pretty nifty feature.
also, the uninsulated flaps like this:

Hopefully the prototype will be at Forest Camp next w/end so if anyone (Gorilla) want to see it. Then I think GrahamS is going to take it to Summer Bushmoot.
Wentworth, Thanks for suggestion but I already answered that question in Post 35
"The idea of a hole in top of quilt for your face creates a problem.
If the hole is positioned for say someone 5ft 6in then someone who is say 6ft 3in would find the hole over the top of their chest."

Wentworth, Thank you very much for your input, I will however decline on this occasion. I was hoping to have an all in cost of about £35-40. But due to the width and length it uses just about same amount of insulation and material as underblanket. Hence the total cost of £48.67. Too start adding extra's will I think take the cost through the roof.
As I said earlier it will be with me at Forest Camp this w/end. So if anyone wants to see it?
If anyone wants to start the ball rolling, I am willing to start taking orders.

I'm in.
Incidentally, I have the prototype at the moment, and I'll have it at the Moot if anyone wants to have a look at it before they commit to buy.
I'll be the one wearing green with a broad brimmed leather hat carrying a knife and sleeping in a hammock. you can't miss me

I tried the quilt out at the weekend. I wasn't cold so it was only a partial test but here's my thoughts on it.
Firstly size, It was more than big enough for use in the hammock. With the sides of the under-quilt drawn up around the hammock there is only a small area on top that needs insulation and I did not even have to bother tucking the sides in to cover this.
I gather It's been made big enough for ground use and I didn't get to test this so I can't comment.
I've heard it mentioned that a different colour for the underside would be useful but more useful in my opinion would be a different coloured stuff sack.
When bundled up it looks exactly like the under-quilt and as I have two of them, it would be very easy to find myself with two of them packed by mistake.
Overall it seems like a good product that should do it's job well.

I am going away for a fortnights holiday tomorrow. So I will start the list off and as in recent buys if you copy list and add your name and number you want to it. I will then carry on when I get back.
As has been already said the top will be same colour as blanket and the bottom will be a sand colour. Will see if Snugpak do different colour stuff sacks and I will also delete the side flaps, as I don't think they are needed. This will reduce weight by a bit and should reduce price slightly. Money better in Your pocket etc....
The list is as follows.
Neanderthal 1
Gorilla 1
Bardster 1
GrahamS 1

Hope they're not being dished out in list order... this queues building from the wrong end !
