The yeti wil fit most gathered end hammocks.Originally Posted by Z-Man
I can't speak for the crowsnest or the TeWa underquilts but the JRB and Yeti use shock chord suspension. I believe the others do as well.
You can do a youtube search and see how the yeti attaches.

On the flipside of Raul's observations, I've used my Winter Yeti -UP TO- 70*F. The extra down really helps when it gets cold, but isn't really noticeable when the temps are warmer, you"ll just need a bit less top insulation. I would buy the Winter version if'n I were you. Can't go wrong either way, though.
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?
I know that this is a little off topic, but in another thread, Cannibal pointed out that the difference between an underquilt and a pad are:
The pad makes it bearable, the UQ makes it comfortable.
G'Luck, and enjoy your adventures!

That was Cannibal, quoting someone else. Cannibal properly attributes in the other thread.
Ah yes. For whatever reason, I couldn't find that thread, but I have edited my past post to credit Cannibal.

The winter yeti is not in stock
It was the mighty Grizzly Adams that I was paraphrasing.
I would think a 3-season Yeti would be plenty sufficient on the AT that time of year, but I've not hiked that section during Oct/Nov.
Trust nobody!
All of the UQ manufacturers make great quilts. My only experience has been with Hammockgear's 3/4 and full length UQ's. Both are excellent quality and very warm. His prices are tough to beat as well.
You'll need to decide on the average temps you're camping in and pick the quilt that most closely fits.
My 2 cents.
