The Jungle Blanket is a blanket, not a sleeping bag with a bug screen.

Yeah, this can be a little confusing. The Jungle Blanket is just that, a blanket and it's cheaper (and it comes in an XL size for the big boys). The Jungle Sleeping Bag is more expensive, but more versatile.  It will open up to work just like a blanket or quilt, but also has the zipper to work as a sleeping bag; the advantage with the sleeping bag is that it does have a built in mosquito net face covering in sleeping bag mode.

The regular size one is $36 on that site. I don't know whether it includes shipping.

Somewhat timely between this thread and some of the other recent threads on the site, this popped up tonight.  The USGI woobie is one of the pieces of equipment tested (it failed miserably) as is the Swagman (it did a little better).

Interesting. I've bought 3 liners from them and didn't have a problem. Things can change though...

Kinda why I posted the troubles
I remember when old grouch was gtg and then not. But both have lost my business.

I am a huge fan of the Snugpack Patrol Poncho Liner.  It has a hood and arms but you can wrap up in it arms inside in a bivy.  It fits larger than the patrol Parka.  Heavier and a little larger packed than their Jungle Blanket or Bag but warmer with thicker insulation.

I'm a bigger boy at 230 and 5'11" for reference.  

$50+ but just OK construction quality.  Good enough for me.

Easily warm enough to sleep or at least be safe if you hit the 40s with a tshirt.  Lower with proper clothing.

It's a bitch to get into the compression sack.  Trick: roll up and put in a plastic garbage bag which then makes it slippery going into the sack.

I have the Snugpak Jungle blanket and Wiggys Ponch Liner. The Wiggys is very warm, but doesn't drap or compress very well. The Snugpak compresses very small, draps well and is fairly warm. I just purchased Therm A Rest Honcho Ponch and will update once I get it. They are on sale at Steep and Cheap for a fairly good price if anyone is interested.

Update

The Honcho Poncho arrived. It stuffs into it's own pouch that is located on the chest. When stuffed it is about the size of a small travel pillow, so it's a tad larger than the Wiggys. It has a lot of loft, think sleeping bag, and it seems like it should be fairly warm. I can see my wife throwing this on while sitting around the fire this fall.

Its pretty much a different category but If your looking for the high end of warmth to weight/packed size then I've been very happy with my revelation quilt from Enlightened equipment definitely not as durable as a woobie but better in every other way. It's my go to for 3 season use in the north cascade mountains and fair weather climbs on the volcanoes.

I understand the purpose of the quilt, but don't understand why you wouldn't just get a sleeping bag with a lower temp rating. That way you only have to carry one bag and can just unzip the bag to vent if you get hot. You can't really use the quilt as a sleeping bag because you can't zip it up and you can't really use it as a blanket because it has a boxed foot. Taking one bag rated for the weather that you'll be camping in saves space, weight and cost.

Did you mean to post that in the other thread asking about a quilt on top of a sleeping bag?

I use just the quilt paired with a thermarest xtherm for bottom insulation. With the straps wrapped around the pad it's essentially a seeping bag but you can skip the straps and unzip the foot to open it up into a blanket. For me it's about minimizing the size as much as weight of my gear. Ill overnight out of a 28L pack for technical routes to keep the pack size down for steep snow, ice, and rock climbing.

Depending on how one's "quilt" is made, most users can install blackened solid brass (non-rusting) snaps (backed-up with some THIN webbing material) in order to make a "reasonable" sleeping bag out of the quilt, or allow it to be snapped-into a poncho that has compatible snaps.

IIRC, the correct size of snap is the #2 size for interfacing with existing snaps on USGI ponchos; but might be wrong.  

Snaps will never "seal" the bag/Woobie like a zipper will do, but most users can install snaps, with a little practice and the proper (and cheap) tools.  Few users have a suitable sewing machine, and the skill/knowledge required to use it.

There's a million ways to modify/upgrade older ltems that have some life left in them.  Go for it, if you wish; some trade-offs compared to modern items, and that's up to you, and your budget.

OTOH, if starting from scratch, and if budget allows, suggest skipping-over the cheap Milsurp items, and doing some research (and ultimate money-saving) in order to buy more modern items.

It's likely true that TWO GI Woobies are likely to be about as warm as ONE Wiggy's item (No Expert--Just a guess).  OTOH, the TWO GI Woobies are likely to have far greater bulk and weight.  Not to mention that the user will need to secure both woobies to each other AND the poncho, lest the unsecured woobies drift around and become useless as insulation.  Most folks that have used a GI Woobie that was not secured to the wind-breaking poncho understand that the insulating Woobie mysteriously migrates, and becomes less insulating.   I doubt most folks used the tie-down strings on the GI Woobie; they were there for a reason, but were a huge PITA to use, compared to (more expensive, HINT!) snaps.

More than one way to skin a cat, but suggest being aware of the differences between using re-purposed old Milsurp stuff, compared to saving-up and buying more modern stuff.

Room for both approaches, just be aware of the trade-offs.
