Would love to see this in person to get a handle on how they've done it. Last Portland trip I was saddened that their downtown store was gone--it was toyland!

The design is intriguing and ingenious, but I'm not an 'early adopter' type of person, so I will wait to see how this works in large scale real world use.
I see you're in Portland--when did they close their downtown store? Up there last summer I was gutted it had disappeared. They had a much larger collection of gear than ever makes it to dealers in the States, and actually handling things like sleeping bags is better than a hundred web descriptions.
With down gear I like holding them up to window light to see where the insulation gaps are, which would be fascinating with these bags.

I had a big surprise last spring when I went down to their store and found it closed. I think the last month it was open was Dec. 2018, but don't quote me on that.
