JacksRBetter Down Hood and Sleeves

Hi Eric,

I’m reviewing those items right now as well as the JRB 4-Season quilt set. I have found the hood and sleeves to be amazing additions to the No Sniveler quilt. They make this a garment that keeps me warm around camp in very cold conditions. The sleeves are also great to layer with other items such as a down vest when you don’t want to wear the whole serape thing.

The only down side to the whole package is wearing it around camp in wet conditions. You don’t really want to get your down bag wet while cooking dinner and the fabric used is not especially water resistant. I now wear a very large rain jacket over the top in inclement conditions and work hard to fully protect the garment (especially the main bag).

Overall though, these are FANTASTIC additions to the No Sniveler. They integrate nicely, are top shelf quality, and are very warm. They should be great additions to your upcoming trip. Just be careful in that snow- be careful to keep things dry. Even in 2 nights, it’s pretty easy to get stuff wet when wearing it.

Have a great trip!
