    awesome quality and design! Modified the suspension to be a Yeti-style to fit on my BB...worked well!

    Took the UQ out for an overnighter last weekend. 1 minute set-up and toasty warm at 58*F. IMO, I could go at least another 10* without any pad help.
    The goal is to use this UQ till mid 30s and then use the serious uq (my winter Yeti) for everything lower
    I'll let you know my temp ranges
    used it again past weekend...
    low 52*F and HUMID...
    I have no doubt that this will work mid 40s alone and mid 30s with a pad helping out, YRMV
    this is the 3 season version (since a warmer model is forthcoming)

    Keep us updated as the temps drop to see how th 1.5 loft works. They are baffled instead of sewn thru so that should be good for a couple degrees more.

    She is waiting on some material and down and should start sewing some more this week. The new ones will be 2.5 loft. I will use the posted interest as a list to go thru as they are ready. If anyone wants the 1.5 UQ please PM me.

    Thanks again for everyone that has one and the positive feedback

    I just got two of the new 2.5 loft UQ's and like them quite a lot. Hangnout's daughter does nice work, and I love supporting fellow hobbyists and an industrious youngster at the same time.

    Buy these quilts!

    We spent some time test-hanging the winter version of the quilt, and I definitely think it will fit my needs, although I'm concerned about how low it will take me. My only complaint is that it would make a lot more sense to do more of a differential baffle on these things. It shouldn't be that much more difficult to use more material on the outer layer of the shell than the inner one, and take some of the guesswork out of tension-ing the quilt. With the current setup, it's pretty easy to over-tension the quilt and completely smash the loft in the shoulder area.

    Mustardman, PM sent

    The quilt is differential cut and should provide loft at the shoulder. I test hung one of them on a Clark hammock and did not get the compression but on an asym hammock like the WBBB it probably is hung tighter. Make sure the shockcord is not pulled tight and still has stretch when laying in the hammock.

    PM me if you need to send one back for us to look at. We will correct if necessary.
