i thought maybe we would cut open a deer and crawl inside.

they are very comfortable and roomy and it has this kick ass guideline that runs inside that you can hang stuff off of.  You can even sleep on your side.  For insulation in the very cold, that I have slept in, 20 to 30 degrees, I just put a small quilt under me that I bought and could fold very small to ride with, again if you check my pics from January you can see it.
I also have a sleeping bag that I use as well with it.
What I like most is how versatile it is.  It works as a chair, it also works as a tent if your above the tree line or you could use it as a bivy sack if there are no trees, so it kicks the but of any tent out there in that regard.
I just got my Ultra Light yesterday and it is nice.  Got a free scout as well so now the lady and I are ready to start hitting some bikepacking together!

is that hyperlight just stupid over kill?

If henessey hammock was my sponsor I would ask for one.  But spending over 200 dollars seemed a bit much for 8 oz savings.  As it was I went with the UL cause it came with a free scout and I needed two tents for me and the WP to start bikepacking.
