After further tinkering with an AHE Lost River UQ last night to ensure a good seal against cooler temps and breezes, I made myself uncomfortable with under-calf pressure from a too-tight closure-cord at the foot end. It was the first time this has happened after a dozen or more uses of this UQ, and it took me several seconds to realize what I had done.
Coincidentally, this morning I read in another thread here Two Tents comment:

I don't think I have ever read of this usage problem before.
The question: How do the several other makers of partial UQ's overcome this?
With baffles that cushion the cord?
With draft tubes?
With instructions to the user?
