I used one of my new models on my hike this week and had intended to try it out on a lot of the hammocks there at the SEHHA but unfortunately had to cut the SEHHA event from the schedule. I can say that the new UQ worked fine on the BB. On Wednesday morning, we awoke to high winds and snow. I was using the UQ and a short section of WM pad that I use in my pack. The trees I was hanging from were not quite ideal and was unable to get a good enough lie to test out the footbox very much. I did use a grip clip on the footbox side and attached a loop of cord to the UQ tieout nearest the corner of the footbox and did not have any issues with cold feet. The next night, the temps were in the mid 40s and again, I was toasty warm all night despite high winds. Good site selection provided protection from the winds, but we were on a pretty steep slope which made for interesting setup and tear down the next day. I still want to work on the length and width of this model for the BB. It will work as is for other gathered end hammocks.
Any news on availability for the KAQ? Not that I'm in a hurry, I'll order when it's available but probably won't use it until fall...
I have some final reviews coming in. I think the design is fine, I am looking around for a better deal on the insulation.
Also, the prototype model will be for sale at a very good rate. I haven't seen it in quite some time as it has been out being tested by various people. Let me know if you are interrested.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I will probably buy one when it becomes available.
"Hang" in there Llama, I think they will be going in production later this month.
Working finding a supply of CS XP rather than the CS Green. Once I have some in house, I can start making them again.
Very interested in buying one sometime this summer, in preparation for an October outing.
