How does the BB + Yeti avoid compression

[BillyBob58]

yeah, Dutch is like that alot. Using words so big we have to find a dickshunary to figur out what hes saying

Really, I hate them there big words. We try to avoid them down here in this neck of the woods.

I should add all of my above theories are not based on a Yeti observation, but on an early version WBG made that was synthetic, Climashield. But I am guessing they work in a very similar fashion.

And I should also add that, though there might be some difference in exactly how it is all achieved, the various tight against the back approaches accomplish the same thing. Like my JRB MWUQ, a Speer Snugfit, my WB whatever. Yes, I know they use some different tricks, and who knows maybe one works better than another in one aspect or another. But they all end up tight against your back and butt, with no compression, which is a huge benefit IMO.

For one other ex, I can testify that a MWUQ fits nice and snug against my back with no down compression.

Some UQs avoid compression by not contacting the hammock bottom.

The snugfit by Speer is also a differentially cut underquilt, and the first of its kind. It's a VERY different design from the rest of them, with all kinds of crazy pleats and voodoo magic. I feel bad for the seamstresses who have to put that thing together

Which ones are those?

Very, very interesting...

pan,
is the mw series dual differential cut or just along the width? i was looking at one the other day for a few mins. looked like the baffle width was the same on the inner and outer shell which makes one think the inner and outer shell are the same length.

I have to say, this is the kind of information that I don't really remember seeing on the website. Sure the verbage is confusing, but putting it in terms of "The specialized cut and build of the underquilt prevents compression and loss of heat" is a very telling description.

It doesn't help that, as someone who does web design for a living, my soul burns while trying to use your sites. I'm just glad you make better underquilts than websites

the yeti also uses trapezoid shaped vertical baffles to contour the major curve of the human body. it is a shaped design rather than square/rectangular, which means the entire area of the uq will contact the hammock snugly without sagging away near the ends.

my site will be getting an upgrade with more info. i'll be sure to include the definition of the differential cut.
