I got mine from Moontrail.com. I thought about a neoair, but heard that they aren't that great if you sleep on your side as the horizontal baffle setup doesn't stop ypu rolling compared to the vertical setup of the exped.

Now you pipe up! I was thinking the UL would be OK but no one could tell me if it was any good. Considering the manufacturer warranty is 2 as opposed to 5 years suggested it maybe a bit fragile. Id always be in a bivvy bag or a tent so thought I should getaway with it. Could sent it back I suppose? Had to buy a pillow too!
The dry bag is the schnozzle aye?
