    FW: KAQ New River 30 UP

    Full length 30 degree synthetic KAQ New River underquilt purchased in February of 2013. This is the standard version (no apex), regular length (78 in) and weighs 30 oz. Changing my setup, so I can't keep everything. I've had it out about 8 nights and it's performed flawlessly. Asking $145, including shipping in the CONUS, paypal only. Picture attached. (edit-meant to say FS and UQ in headline...)

    With a medium size Kelty compression bag, is about 13 by 9 inches. I usually just pack it loose in the bottom of my pack and stuff everything around it.

    I'm 6'4"...the KAQ site says it recommends the "long" for users over 6'. But, you say it's 78", which is 6'6", So it sounds like it may work after all? What are your thoughts on this? If it will work I'll likely take it. Need something for a trip next weekend.

    I'm 5"10 and it fits me fine. My feet get cold so I like to have something underneath then. Since you're 6' 4", you're pretty close to having a little bit of overhang, but if you using a TQ or sleeping bag, you should be fine. Depending on how you lay in your hammock might make a difference to...I'm a side sleeper or if I'm on my back, I usually put something behind my knees to bring them up a bit.

    Thanks man. I think I will hold out for a "long" at this point.
