    UQ Soft Seal

    Hey all. I would put the challenge out there for someone to design a foam, fabric, fleece strip that would attach to the end lengths of a UQ. The idea is that it would seal out airflow better than cinched grosgrain.

    Bonus points for making it dual purpose.

    Hmm....

    It already exists as a collar. Most UQ makers have them.

    Now the challenge would be to make it removeable for your dual purpose.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    Oh. ��

    I haven't bought a UQ in a couple years. Both of mine just have grosgrain over shockcord.

    What kind of material do they use?

    It's just a baffle filled with down that seals.

    I often zip my coat/jacket(s) around the end of the hammock so that the hammock suspension is running through the neck of the jacket. This helps seal the ends of the UQ - and is a great dual purpose.
