    Thumbs up Ix UQ mini test....

    Yesterday a small soft package was delivered to me...... My brand new Molly Mac Gear 2ply differential cut IX UQ with torso warmer insultubes!?!?!(i´m not even going to try to abbreviate that)

    Needless to say i had to test it out as soon as possible so off for a quick overnighter at the local trails:

    Well after 1 night with moist blowing winds(with temps down to around 45f.) It´s just mindblowing how warm this baby is for its size and thickness....
    Woke up a few times feeling real hot(it was enough to put a leg out, to cool down) and with no condensation issues
    FYI i used a old lightweight synthetic summer bag as a top quilt and was wearing shorts and a tee, i am normaly neither a hot or cold sleeper....

    The complete quilt and suspension weighs in at just under 8 ounce(with a good bit of dog drool on it) and packs down to around 1 liter.

    Dont hesitate to deal with Mac - he has been most helpfull and responsive answering all my questions - top notch service

    Sorry for not showing any pics of the setup but my Htc smartphone was well - how shall i put it - was not very smart

    Great to hear you like it.
    I already ordered one from Mac and I can't wait to try it out!
    I am officially retired tomorrow and will be loading my pack as soon as my IX UQ comes.

    Thanks for your kind words, Bo!

    Grats on retirement, Crash!
    oldgringo's reply to my worrying about owning extra hammocks:

    How many pairs of underwear do you own? Do you refer to them as "extras", simply because you're not wearing all of them as we speak?
