Hello,

Do I understand correctly that you are the original maker of the Olam sleeping bags? If so, congratulations!

I had one of your very first factory "seconds" [one that unzipped completely to mate to another bag] for testing of the laminating for movable insulation. [much of my research was published [without credit] by Wm. Langdon in his book by that name]

I like the laminated construction and started using that test bag for camping. It quickly became my favorite because it was comfortable & durable. I lamented its loss when it was stolen.

If conditions were bad, I put my North Face Chrysalis inside the Olam bag. Even better, I had an unnamed down bag that would unzip & mate to it for camping with my wife. [I still have that bag but the baffles were torn out!]

I'm glad to see you're still going strong & appreciate your innovations in the field.

Best wishes & thanks!

Tom
