You will not need a pad with any of the JRB full length UQ, especially the Mt Washington UQs.

My full length UQ is a Speers Snugfit, works really well with the BB
Yep! This is my favorite combo if I'm going with a full length quilt (rare). Genuine Draft's Blackbird doesn't leave the house without the SnugFit. I'm pretty sure I signed a contract saying as much.Originally Posted by Shewie
An extremely close second would be my Mt. Washington. Although, I cheat a little. My Mt. Washington was picked-up second hand and was apparently one of the early prototypes as I think it is a touch longer than what they are now. The extra length is very handy on the Blackbirds and it does a really good job of sealing up.
Trust nobody!

I have a question about the Incubator and the Blackbird as well. I have an older Incubator. I used it for over a year and an half with my Skeeter Beeter Pro, but now I have an Incubator. For comparison, the SB Pro is 6" longer and 6" narrower than the WBBB.
How will the older Incubator fit with the footbox on the WBBB? Are there any tricks I need to know about to get a snug fit? I know that with the SB Pro, in the winter, I got a much better fit by not pulling out the hammock. Will this be true of the WBBB also?
Finally, before winter is through, I will be picking up a Warbonnet Traveler (I prefer not to have a bugnet when temps are sub 50°). Being that this is a simple gathered end hammock, are there any tricks to this one that will be different than the SB Pro or WBBB?
