Any plans for an Extra Large/Twin/Double version in the future Simon?
A poncho version isn't a bad idea either; especially if the hood was detachable

Hey mate - no none whatsoever. Poncho has been asked of me for sometime now and with Sarah working along side me now that is more likely.

If you could get Oz-Cam in a LW fabric you may find a few buyers amongst the service folk for a hooded poncho, especially if reversible.
I've just had a look at the issue liner and it is very LW and not really warm enough for winter and all the quilting lines would allow water to soak through very quickly

Woodland camo is popular at the moment, Auscam is not available in a LW fabric as far as I know, and Multicam is very expensive.

True it is but some people are very happy to pay that premium. you could offer a service to the military upgrading the issue sleeping bag liner with an added layer of LW APEX and a neutral grey/ olive drab/multicam on one side as a special order
Such as they are the liners are $66- from the current contractor
I wound up buying that S/H one as I wanted something to play with and to keep in the ute as a just-in-case blanket
