Molly Mac Gear 3/4 IX UQ
Same size as the 5-in-1 Jerry Chair...
Same sewn-in 2'x3' InsulTubes Torso Heater as all MMG UQs...
Same two layer, inside-out construction with differential cut as all MMG UQs...
...but it weighs about 5.5 oz, including suspension!
The first one will be shipped to an HFer in Australia! Pictures to follow.

Whoo Australia!
Canoeski has convinced me that I should offer a breathable nylon covering on the outside of the 3/4 IX UQ. I think it is a good idea!
Basically, it is the 5-in-1 Jerry Chair, optimized for a single function: UnderQuilt!
This may be the best IX UQ yet...

Can't wait to see the pics, are we talking shoulder to knee coverage?
The pattern is 54 (correction) inches long, but then it is heavily darted. It's about 51" long finished, shoulder to knee, possibly a little longer for a 6' personOriginally Posted by Alpha Yak
Pics later today!

I think I may change my order if that it possible. Looking forward to the pics.
To bad you don't make a cover for universal WBBB IX. Would a seperate cover that is breathable DWR be a good thing to keep out wind and mist?
BigRed
Certainly! Just let me know in the next couple of days!
I have covered them, when the customer insists, but it only adds weight, cost and color. IX needs nothing to keep out the wind and mist. It is excellent at blocking wind, and it is water resistant, yet breathable.
Hedcase used his IX UQ as a TQ hung on his ridgeline, when his tarp was leaking right above his hammock. He said it worked just fine!

How 'bout using this thing with the Supershelter cover?Canoeski has convinced me that I should offer a breathable nylon covering on the outside of the 3/4 IX UQ. I think it is a good idea!

I use my IX UQs with the 2QZQ UQ Protector. A weather shield, like the Supershelter cover, works very well with the IX UQs. You can remove it and save the weight when you don't think you'll need it. It adds almost 10 degrees of warmth, some have said. If you use a HH Asym Tarp, like I sometimes do, then a weather shield makes up for it's deficiencies in conditions with wind-blown rain.
The three IX UQs offer a good range of options. The full length Universal IX UQ is as light as a full length UQ can be. The 5-in-1 Jerry Chair is as rugged as a UQ can be. The 3/4 IX UQ is a minimal as a UQ can be. Now ya got me bein' proud...
It would be nice if Insultex came in forest green, wouldn't it?
