I found an "All Weather Blanket" http://www.survivorgeek.com/products...7%7D-Hood.html.
It looks like a more durable version of a space blanket. I was thinking of trying one of these out for use as an UQ or maybe even a TQ. Does anyone have any input on these things? I'm really just wondering if I should waste my money or not.It's windproof, waterproof, lightweight, flexible to -20°, much more durable than a mylar sheet, and has metal grommets for use with cord. Size: 60" x 84".

Maybe as a uqp but for my uq I will stick to down
my only problem with down is the $$$$$. Even for a DIY project the down alone would cost ALMOST as much as buying whatever I intend to make.

As a most likely better alternative and still relatively inexpensive, look at Insultex underquilts. Go to the "Guides" pages at www.DIYGearSupply.com

So many trees, so little time...
yes, you can save $$, i just fineshed a climasheild apex tq for 60$. it can be done.( but once you get addicted you dont save any)
Last month a friend had one of those heavier-duty space blankets along, and decided to try it out as a peapod with a sleeping bag and pad...it failed, and he spent part of the night in the car. To be fair, it got down to around 28*F that night, maybe if it'd been warmer he would've been okay.
