    There are about a dozen vendors that offer TQ's and UQ's. Some of us participate actively here on the forums and some do not.

    Give us some details on what your needs/interests are and folks can give you a more tangible answer. Are you a car camper, bike camper, kayak camper, backpacker or ultralight backpacker? Are you on any sort of budget or is the sky the limit? Summer, 3 season or winter? Type of hammock you're using? Your height and weight? All of those sorts of details will get you better answers than "I like X brand."

    Getting in to light weight backpacking maybe some kayaking. Just ordered a Yukon outfitters Ap-freedom v1 freedom hammock my budget is pretty loose. I'm 6'ft 200 lbs and 3 season for sure maybe some winter camping

    I picked up a 3-season Jarbridge UQ from Arrowhead Equipment (pgibson above) and love it...light weight, compact, warm, and affordable! Saving up to get one of his Owyhee TQs now to complete the package. http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/ I am sure there are other great vendors out there but I was looking for synthetic specific and his products and helpfulness fit the bill. Good luck with your search!

    Personally I would stay with one of the HF vendors, however I am prejudice. To the best of my knowledge everyone is honest, each vendor does something a bit different than the others. I believe all the products are high quality and the vendors have a select group of clientele they are making every effort to satisfy. You would not be buying form mass production company.

    Do you know if you want down or synthetic?
    What size, length, width?
    Type of fabric?
    Color?
    Custom made?
    Duck or goose down?
    What fill weight?
    Will moisture be a problem?
    How do you treat your gear, are you rough with it or do you baby it along?
    Will you ever go to ground with the quilts?

    I found I like a narrower quilt for Hanging, I get a better wrap with a bit narrower quilt.
    For a TQ I like the sewn in down lined foot box, no snaps no zippers.

    Lots of options and things to consider.

    I like the Underground Quilts (UGQ). I have a top and bottom for my RidgeRunner. they're quality construction, warm and light weight. and with the water proof down, I have no worries about humidity

    Are you looking for down or synthetic? If synthetic, I'll second the jarbidge from www.arrowhead-equipment.com! I purchased one last year and have been very pleased with it.
    Two heads are good, three are great, but all heads at hammockforums is the best case scenario!
