Weather shield for an UQ?

[Ashman]

I have bought the dri-ducks poncho that serves as a weather shield for the JRB underquilt. I have found it more necessary in foggy conditions than rain, my tarp does a good job there. Here is the rub, I have a great waterproof outershell that I use when it is raining, don't really need the poncho but I like having the shield for the quilt.

So here is the question/dilemma. Is there some sort of fabric that I could use to fashion a "vapor-shield" for the quilt that at the end of the day would be lighter than the poncho?

The poncho is 8.5 oz. FYI

I was looking at that too I could do without the poncho and just a dri ducks vapor barrier I don't like poncho's

How about an IX UQ as an outer covering for your down UQ?

...oops, it's not much lighter than the poncho.

Yeah, I got a feeling that at the end of the day, I'm not going to find something that is going to be lighter and do just as good of a job, but rather than dismiss it outright, thought I would pick the lock of the brain trust here!

Ashman:
have you thought about modding a fabric shower curtain?????? They are relatively light and could serve a dual role as a ground cloth if needed. Second thought may be too heavey when the curtain gets wet, not sure about moisture saturation of the material.

I have had a lot of requests for something of this nature, including one that would pair to the BBO. I have the what and how figured out but the fabric I want to use has been back ordered for a while now. Hoping it will be in within the next few weeks though.

Ahhhh, Paul to the rescue!

Don't know if I would go that far just yet stone, but I have some things rattling around in the brain bowl.
