feels like heaven!

March 29, 2007
what can i say? it kept me very warm, i felt snug as a bug camping in winter, in high altitude. the weather was cold enough that there was some snow here and there, to give you a sense of how warm it was. i'm so in love with it that i've used it even when i didn't need it, such as in motel rooms. it's soft, the half zipper works well. when i scrunch it up around my face, there are no scratchy spots. it seemed to resist the slight condensation in the tent. it's not waterproof, per se, but even with a few beads of water on it, it felt dry to the touch. the blue color is awfully pretty, too. did i mention it squooshes down to nothing and weighs even less? it has made backpacking a joy.
