I made this UQ last week from Olive Pertex.
I tried to loosely base the design on the Winter Incubator from Hammock gear. The pertex came in 1.6 m wide on the roll. Its 190 cm by 140 cm with a differential cut. Baffles are 3" high made from nanoseeum. There are 14 baffles of which 12 are 100mm/ 4" wide on the inside and 116mm/4.16" on the outside. I filled it with 17 oz of 850 fill power hungarian goose down.
Channels run all round and take 5mm shock cord. Darts run 8" inside and 6" outside. Total weight is 850g.
I'm really pleased with how this turned out, this pertex feels so soft and packs well. Its a bit lighter and softer than other pertex 4's Ive seen. It should keep me warm through our present Arctic weather.
If I made it again, I'd make the darts run longer like the Incubator but it sits well on my hammock as it is.
Many, many thanks go to HF and all on HF who posted info about UQ's-your a top crowd.
