as usual, can't easily tell how much this stuff weighs... and the innovation seems to be mostly in the wearable top quilt. anybody know anything about this?

The combined weight of the quilts(2) equal more than 3 lbs. for the 0' option and over 2.5 lbs for the 30' option.

Looks like two nicely fitted quilts basically. I didn't see that it's truly wearable though. Even so, wearable bags/quilts aren't all that new. Exped introduced a wearable sleeping bag back in the '90's. It was basically a mummy bag with arm holes and a zipper system that allowed it to function like a coat. I tried it - the Exped Wallcreeper - a number of years ago. It was one of those multifunction products that does many things - but doesn't do any of them all that well.
