    Have a Yeti - Need something Wider

    I have a WBBB Dual 1.7 and I recently picked up a Yeti with the mylar snap in liner. Great combo, and all works as advertized. *But*, I'm a side sleeper that tosses and turns a lot. I find my shoulder, arm, and rear end stick off the Yeti, no matter how I adjust it.

    What are my options in the way of wider UQ that will keep me covered?
    I'm in no way concerned with weight, so 3/4 or Full, 3S or Winter, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm a cool to cold weather camper and a warm sleeper, I just need a little more coverage!

    I think I'm going to put my Yeti up for trade in the For Sale section, I just need to know what I should be trading for so I'm not in the same boat all over again! I'm still pretty new at this, so I've not *seen* anything in person except for what I own; everything else has just been photos online.

    Oh no worries, and thanks so much for selling it to me! I really like the kit, I just wish it was about 4" wider on *each* side. Then I'd keep it forever and start saving up for a nice Winter UQ.

    I'm thinking you would be looking at one of the full length quilts at Jacks r better or seeing if you one the other underquilt makers can custom make a full length for you.

    Jacks R and Stormcrow are at the top of my list. I've just never seen their gear, so I'm not sure which model would suit me.

    I'm sure they'd be more than happy to discuss it with you if you email or PM them.

    Ditto. From the manufacturer websites...

    Yeti = 40"x46"
    Crow's Nest = 45"x52"
