Pocket-Quilts for Clark Jungle Hammock

[Cannibal]

so with down being so expensive why couldn't you go to a thrift shop and buy down vest and use the down from them and how did they work, I am needing something to get me down to the teens out in colorado during bow season so i figure these plus my 20 bag and a pad would probably do the trick but weight is an issue since I live out of my pack for 1 1/2 weeks.

Mostly, I suspect, because the down used in the vast majority of the stuff you'll find at thrift shops is much lower quality (more feathers, less down). The good stuff fills more volume with fewer ounces. That's my guess.

They work pretty darn well.
But below 20°, I got cold.
My biggest problem was that I had the quilts made just a little too small for my NX-200 and my size. I was getting a small gap between each pillow (partially just because of how the pockets are designed . . . but I spread the hammock out more than someone else might )

My next set will be slightly larger and have slightly bigger baffles.

I'm using the regular Clark NA (1.5 weeks old) and I would totally be interested in a set of these too if you redo them to fill the pockets better. Let me know if/when you decided to do it and if I have the cash I'll go in on it with you.

Like that Idea of a down filled one too. 450g is not bad. Perhaps smaller compressable as well.
Still try to figure out the weight of a z-liner / 200. Nothing on Clarks website (not that I can find).

Clark's site lists the large Z-liner at 26 ounces...

sir_nothing,

I bought some hi loft climashield from OWF which I was going to use in a pocket quilt project ala RAW/Bradley. Its 42x60 which you"ll figure is just enough for the 6 pockets. I can always find a use for it but that was its original purpose. BUT its 11.6oz climashield! Pretty unusual. 2.5" thick. I paid $21 plus shipping. PM me if you are interested.

Where did you get the camo fabric for the down HH UQ I bought. I would like to get my hands on some for a TQ project.

Tahnks Sir nothing!
Funny that, I went from the NX 250 straight to the z-liner page, whole page
description, no weight though..

What are the dimensions that you made the six pads, and also did you try making the large triangular pad with the velcro, like the Z-liner has?
