Hey guys, I want to start off and say thanks in advance for taking the time to read this, So pretty much I have a grand trunk skeeter beeter and I live in Massachusetts. I need an underquilt that I can put in my rucksack that will make me comfortable at 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit and be fairly small packed, just nothing to extremely bulky. What do you guys recommend, I can't tell what would be better KAQ or UGQ, or any other brand.
UGQ will be down and compress smaller than the KAQ which is synthetic.
Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!
Thank you for your reply : ), so I was looking on the site i decided 750 down would be better than 850, not to big of a difference weight wise. I think I should most likely go for full sized instead of 3/4 size, but what oz should I get, should I get the max they offer 250z instead of the 22oz, Will it make a big difference in pack size, weight isn't bad but packing it down and making everything fit might be a problemOriginally Posted by 2ply
My suggestion would be to call a couple of the cottage vendor on this site, give them your requirements, and ask your questions from them. Then you can determine which one will best suit your needs. We have a number of very good vendors who support us. UGQ, JRB, etc. etc.
All of the cottage vendors seem generous in there temp rating. The 0* should be fine for the temps your looking at. If you add down you can figure each extra ounce of down gets you about 3 extra degrees of warmth.

Alright thank you, : ) I just need to contact them again and make sure it fits the type of hammock I have,
