    Maker/Name: Underground Quilts Winter Dream 12
    Material: Sil nylon
    Weight: 26oz *advertised*
    Size: 144" RL, 120" wide
    Options: Center pole mod. Comes seam sealed
    Suspension/Tie outs: Dutch made 2 piece RL w/flyz, prussic looped tie outs and bungee doors.
    Pros: Big enough for 2 hammocks under it, can be used for bad weather seating and camping. Doors snap shut and heavy duty rings.
    Cons: Heavy, bulky to pack
    Best For: Winter and bad weather camping, when coverage out weighs weight concerns (which is all the time for me.)

    Mines on the right, pole mod in full porch mode!
