It will be interesting to see the setup in action
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I'm not seeing the angled baffles. I think it's the pictures looking slightly fish eyed. Those baffles look really big and the material and accessories look heavy duty though.
I actually think that this might increase Bonefire sales. Warbonnet is such a popular company that it will get people thinking about integrated hammocks in general. A rising tide raises all ships. I love my Bonefire Whisper. The fact that it weighs 2 lbs still amazes me. Jeremy puts a ton of effort (and math and geometry) in his Bonefires.
I hope that Brandon has a winner with this one, too.
The integrated thing is interesting and I recall lurking on some discussions here years ago about the idea. Likely saves a few ounces on fabric and suspension components. And there's also the simplicity/laziness factor (reminds me of OWL's Giant Slug "snakeskin"). But the BIG drawback is the lack of flexibility --- I like to pick and choose gear depending on conditions and location. Can't do that with an integrated system.
That said, I dig the angled baffles (if they are indeed angled --- is the dress blue?) and LOVE the way it looks!
Warbonnets Facebook page showed their new UQ called the wookie. Specially designed to fit their BB and BBXLC.
Not an insulated hammock, but rather a hammock specific UQ. Bonefire Gear still appears to be the best option for the insulated hammock.
https://www.facebook.com/warbonnetoutdoorsThe Wooki underquilt is the first full-length quilt designed specifically to adhere to the BlackBird and BlackBirdXLC end-gathered hammock models. We'll be manufacturing these underquilts in both green and brown to match nicely with your previously purchased green and brown BlackBird and BlackBirdXLC hammocks. The underquilts will be offered in both 3 and 4-season options, and are designed to be as lightweight as possible. This quilt is an add-on, and is sold separately from our BlackBird and BlackBirdXLC models. Additional details regarding the Wooki can be found on our website beginning on Monday 8/1/2016.

Wooki, I like the name and if it fits as good as my Yeti does on my Ridgerunner I'm in.
Brandon makes quality gear. I look forward to seeing how this works.
We are here if you need us.
My dad still uses one of your UQs. It was a great design.
I might have to get a second machine... seriously, good for Brandon.
The system can save more than a few ounces. The only time an integrated quilt is bothersome is when it is too hot for me to be outside anyway. I'm so hot natured. The simplicity is the thing I like the most about integrated systems (even if this means just leaving your quits attached with quilt hooks or the like).
Im amazed wookie isnt TMed by George Lucas TBH.
Hadnt heard of whisper.. actually last time I checked his site i think there was specific mention of either not doing double layers even if requested or integrated net, cant remember which. Either way i hadnt seen it or wouldve ordered one likely.
