Great but could use even more

Written on Aug 08, 2017

Being a stomach and spread-out sleeper, I *need* a rectangle bag. No mummies for me. This bag is very comfortable for me, and it integrated perfectly with my NeoAir mat. I absolutely love the double zips, and think it'll be a great bag to travel with. The only thing that is disappointing is that it is only rated as a 25F bag. I haven't tried it down that low yet, but it feels thin enough that I am skeptical that it would be comfortable at 25F. I would like to see it stuffed just a little fuller with down, or, as an alternative, to have a thin down blanket that can adapt this for colder temps. In fact, I've purchased just that, hoping that I can build a camping quilt out of a Double Black-Diamond down throw, to add as an extra insulation layer to the top of this bag when I'm traveling in cold areas. If they made a 0F or 10F bag that is similar, I'd be at 100% satisfaction.

Great Chair for the right person

The Helinox Chair Two is good for some people. Be careful on which chair you pick. For taller/larger people the Chair Two would not be ideal. You will feel more like you're dumping out the front of it, and it sits pretty low. For them I'd recommend the Helinox Camp Chair by a large margin.

But, we have some people in the family who are smaller, in the 5'3" size range. They will definitely prefer the Chair Two, as it doesn't hit them strangely in the bottom of the thighs and is a great fit for them. Chair sizes and styles are not one-size-fits-all, so hopefully this information helps you make the right choice.

The quality of these chairs is great. I've never had a Helinox break on us.
