Kifaru Woobie vs Doobie - Worth It?

[timberlinehunter]

I am considering picking up a Kifaru Woobie or Doobie. I would be using it as a lightweight quilt for summer time camping with my kids and also for added insulation during hunting season such as when glassing or on my treestand whitetail hunts. What is everyone's experience with these? Are they worth the expense? Do you find the Woobie or the Doobie a better size?

They are the same size. Doobie has thicker insulation, so stuffs bigger. Woobie is worthless (IMO) below 40 degrees

If you know someone that can sew, I'd highly recommend a DIY kit from ripstop by the roll. Same insulation, multiple fabric choices, wwaaayyyyy cheaper than Kifaru and just as good (if not better)

My mom loves to sew, she's put together some awesome quilts for my families adventures.

Can’t say enough about my woodie. I use it as a stand alone sleeping bag/blanket in warmer months and extra installation when it’s cold out. I’ve found a bunch of reasons to use it. My dog loves it too

My Woobie is worth its weight in gold when glassing/sitting.

I use my woobie quite a lot. Very versatile as its shell is tough relative to my other quilts and it cleans up easily so I don't mind using it as a wrap or the like. Sleep under it until it gets down in the 30s.

I would not do a doobie, since I would want down if it were that cold. Apex fill is nice but it doesn't pack down too well.
