Are the HOG SMB's an Open-baffle-bottom or fully closed bottom design?
 
Thanks Jim! It's probably going to be a while before I pull the trigger on a 4.5ft. I'm putting other things on the priority list right now.

I'm curious abotu the 36in. Is it the same dimensions as a Halcyon. I haven't seen any pictures or anything on them yet.
Also, is the oral inflater a push to inflate or similar to the Halcyons?

It is a push to inflate so that it can also be used with your LP hose or the HOG quickshot fitting. And the 6 ft and 4.5 ft are on sale for Black Friday weekend.
As to how the 36 compares to the Halcyon dimensions I can't say. I just looked and Halcyon does not have dimensions on their website. The HOG 36 is 4 inches across when flat. Inflated (takes about half a breath on the surface) it's just over 2 inches in diameter (2.125 or so with the calipers loosely applied). Hope that helps. I've never seen the H in person.

See above for a pic of the HOG 36 inflate and opv assembly
 
Thanks Jim.
