My daughter is out of school for summer and I have talked her into making me some gear. Since she was in the mode so to speak she made a couple prototype 2/3 UQ quilts pictured below.
These will work great on Clark, Claytors, Speer style, bridge and other hammocks. Not sure about HH and other hammocks with an asym configuration. Probably would need to modify suspension.

I use a similar quilt from spring to fall supplemented by a pad when the temps get into the low 60's and below. There has been a lot of discussion on the plus and minus of this type system so please research those threads on whether this will work for you.
These are not factory but good quality DIY quilts at a great price.
This size also works great for kids in the 4' range. I use mine for my younger daughter (4') on her hammock. These will work into the upper 40's for some, 50's for most, 60's for everybody IMO. I start needing the pad for legs somewhere in the mid to lower 60's based on wind etc. I use one on my bridge with a pillow and start the quilt at my shoulders. This only leaves about about 12" on the foot end not covered. Extra clothes, pack, etc will work on the foot end.
$99 each shipped to 48 states. When they are gone, I know she will not make any more for that price. If interested, post in thread then PM with details etc. Payment by PayPal or money order.
Remember it is a 2/3 UQ not a full size. Great way to try the smaller UQ without breaking the bank.
