    UQ cover

    My incubator and I spent over 24 hours in a steady rain under my new superfly with pole mod.
    by the time the rain stopped I was checking out my gear and how well we all did i noticed that the outside of my UQ was damp.
    not sure if it just from moisture in the air from the rain or from my own body moisture passing thru UQ and then hitting the moiste air could not dry and stayed damp.

    Any thoughts on this and or would I be on the right line of thought about getting a UQ cover for foul weather?

    I am sure you will get plenty of responses and replies here, but check out 2QZQ's underquilt protector. I use mine pretty much every season except summer, and will use it then too, when I am expecting rain. That being said, they offer them in several different materials and they are very easy to work with.

    Mine is a 2qzq also. I use mine any time i have an UQ on my hammock, and it is a good bridge from about 65-75 degrees also.

    Donna here...

    Unless you know how to avoid the probable condensations issues you will have using the Non Breathable Silnylon...you should use and we recommend the breathable fabric. Argon is breathable.

    Thank you for asking!
