Never seen the G1E liners, but they do look good, I also like some of the shells they have after going thru their site, I think some would make a awesome subdued hammock fly, but most do not list the size of them? I am currently using the larger coyote colored Hennessy hex for wet/ cold weather, and the standard asym for decent weather outings, so Im always looking for a multicam alternative. You can call me an Elitist MC snob, it wont hurt my feelings.
The HPG serape is AWESOME in case anyone does not already know that. When the woobie express came out I almost jumped just because of the MC but then Evan came out with the MC version of the serape around the same time, do not know who came first in the MC world, but HPG had the serape before the woobie express was released if I remember my timelines correctly. The hood, zips, and multifunction options made it a no brainer to go with. But it does weight more than the woobie express. I own 2 woobies already and they are great as well, so don't think I am bashing Kifaru. I have gear boxes full of their stuff. My favorite part of the serape is the great coat mode when the wind is blowing or early morning waling around camp. I found if you unzip the last 15-18 of it, even with my 6'1" 220lb frame, you can easily and warmly sit Indian style on a mat keeping the tucked front flap across the top and side of your legs, while the zipped rear still provides a baffle for the rear across the sides. Then the little tube that is created from the zipped portion acts and a hand/ arm warmer while you wait for whatever 4 legged creature you are hunting. Only down sides I have found is the hood kills @60% of my hearing ability and occasionally when walking in poncho mode, the rear pulls down a bit to the point that the zipper is riding my neck. it does not choke me since I adjust it when this occurs, but wearing the hood decreases this occurring but kills the hear ability.
One other thing, when using the serape as a sleeping bag, tuck the hood into the bag,then cinch it shut. This completely stops any drafts and if you sleep face to the opening (which most do), the hood can line right up to be laid under your hip to provide a little padding against the ground. Don't know if it was meant for this to occur, I just find it works awesome. It also works great as a top quilt in the hammock or at movie time in the lovesac when at home.
JWL, thanks for resurrecting this old thread, I'm sure it will still continue to help people with options in the future.
)...any chance the product page for them will be updated with their dimensions? and where are your products made in? i can't find the warranty page on the website either. thanks!
