I bought the Outdoor Vitals Aerie 30f if so I'll have some experience with it if anyone wants to ask questions.

defgI like it a lot. It uses very light weight nylon but seems tough enough and does not feel clammy to the touch so it would be comfortable to use as just a plain sleeping bag or quilt. That probably means it is not treated for water but I have yet to test that part. As it is the majority of the weight is just down. This thing puffs up so much from all the down in it that it feels like sleeping in a cloud. I was skeptical of the 30 degree rating when I first pulled it out of the included stuff sack but after I laid it out and let it sit for a few minutes till it fully inflated it became very warm.
The zipper is not the best in the world but not shabby and is pretty light weight. The guard does it's job most of the time and I have only had one snag to deal with and it came undone frailly easy.
I love that it has draw string at both ends of the bag. I was able to cinch it around my shoulders sealing the air inside for those chilly nights when used as just a sleeping bag.
The only glaring omission is that it does not have loops for hanging it up on a hangar. I was trying to figure out a way to use the loops on the zipper side and may end up hanging it opened up on one side but it will still be tricky. With something like this the gets ALL of its warmth from the down you do not want to store it any other way than hanging it up.
I have yet to test it with my hammock yet but it seems pretty strait forward. The suspension is easy and I don't see anything approaching the warmth that this bag offers for the price any where.
As it is with out Massdrop getting involved it is a very compelling option that I highly recommend.
I will include pictures later if you like. Cheers!
