Thought I would share my DIY underquilt I made from 5oz Climashield APEX. Can't believe how well this turned out and I am just tickled to death about it. I had some left over 1.7oz digital camo that I was making hammmocks with. Then found some olive green 1.1oz ripstop at Walmart ($1.50 yd) that I used as the inner liner. It's really a 3/4 underquilt as it's only 60" x 42". Weighs 16oz with stuff sack. Don't have the suspension on the long sides yet, so that may a add few ounces. I would like to give a shout out too scooterbrown and his post on his Apex Underquilt. Also too BadKarma375 and his post on his Apex TQ. That is next on my list. Thank you HF for all the great info here! Will need to wait a bit to try it out. Hope it gets me down to around 35 DegF. Was really surprised how it compresses. Not as good as down, but workable.
