It's my sleeping bag through early archery season, and goes in the bivy with the down quilt for cold temps. Great blanket but not real cheap.

Woobie was made famous in the "Mr. Mom" movie.

The Rat nailed it. The Kifaru woobie is spendy but worth every penny. I have one in my fly away bag and use another every night at work. Of course I still have several of the issued versions too.

Funny. When I was in the Army, we called them "poncho liners". Never heard the term "woobie" until this morning.

But then again we called Marines "track grease". :)
