Very satisfied :)

This is my second Jerven exclusive purchase with 170 g/m2 lining. I bought a second set (Exclusive and lining) to zip to my initial one to experiment with setting up a larger improvised cold weather one person shelter. This is a very thick lining that zips into the Jerven Exclusive. On its own it acts as a decent water resistant 2 season sleeping bag. Zipped into the Exclusive it can serve as a 4 season bag. It is not an optimum choice for any single role, but combined with a warm base and mid layer of merino wool or synthetic on your body it will function well as long as you have a good R rated sleeping pad underneath. I find it is better to put a foam or insulated inflated sleeping pad inside the bag with a light insulating pad (such as the folding German military foam pad) under the Jerven bag. Highly recommended if you are willing to sacrifice a small amount of comfort sleeping for flexibility. If you are looking for sleeping comfort primarily you should purchase a good winter sleeping bag such as a Carinthia Defence 6 or Survival One or similar along with a good winter sleeping pad.

The quality is good as you might expect. There has not yet been any actual use of the cloak, but there is experience with similar cloaks on a fixed mountain, and this possibility of detaching the mountain greatly increases versatility. One star left when the packing shop had forgotten to remove the burglar alarms, by calling customer service I got information on how to remove the alarms if I don't want to send them back.

Fit in finish is excellent, stitching is great, heavy duty fabric at a light weight. I see this lasting the rest of my life.

Always included, and insulation as appropriate.

The quality of the work and the materials are good, they have no complaints. The product can be used as a tarpaulin, raincoat, or windshield. If you add a thermal lining then it will be a bivou, a sleeping bag and a break jacket. As a bivy, the product works moderately, but the right bivy and sleeping bag work better for the same weight. A break jacket is also moderate, but real thermal clothing is more practical than a long robed robe. Good needs are cheaper. Impossible as a raincoat. Cold as a sleeping bag. So does many things, but not always very well. If you are a tough dude and you can replace other items (tarpaulin, raincoat, bivy, etc.) then then it is really good. Otherwise, too heavy to carry comes with "for safety's sake". A guerrilla who gets the opportunity to sleep for a couple of hours and does not have time / ability to set up a tent can wrap up here and then continue his journey. A completely useless outfit for a chubby family father in his forties.
