I bought the Musuc bag lite a while ago and finally had a chance to test it.
7474

Overnight in a hammock on Friday on the Wales meet up with morning frost on the tents. Used in conjunction with a snugpack under-blanket and found despite the 2 degrees temperature I was very comfortable. (I am not a particularly warm sleeper and did wonder if I should have gone for the standard version). I could move around much better than I do in a sleeping bag and getting in and out of the hammock was simplicity itself, not struggling with zips in the hammock.
Pros -
Comfortable to wear.
Easy to put on, just like a onesy .
Fits with no tight or loose areas
The hands can be slipped out through the velcro-closed mitt end easily.
Can move or walk around in it (so night time relief is easy), but I would guess if you bumped into anyone in the dark it could have a laxative effect on them
small pack size.
Price
Delivery from Germany was cheap and fast
Cons.
None really
Slippery in the hammock nylon -on - nylon. Although I think my angle on the Hammock was to blame and a level hammock would cure this.

I would recommend this to anyone who dislikes the mummy bag strait jacket feeling and doesn't mind looking like an escaped telly tubby :rolleyes:
Having tried it out it will be my 1st choice on future kayak expeditions and weekend bush-craft meets.

For sub zero or people who feel the cold I would have gone for the standard thicker version (still a reasonably small pack size) I may invest in the standard version as well.

I have absolutely no affiliation to the supplier or manufacturer.

Thanks for the link BJ. What I couldn't find on the site was care instructions. Do you know they are washable / dry-cleanable ?

Cheers,
