Paul,
I ordered my 3 season New River UQ and Owyhee TQ on July 15th, 2014. I think little more than a week passed when they showed up on my doorstep. The outer color on both is red and the inner color is black. They are sharp looking and I can see my set-up very easily from a distance. Stealth is not a concern as these quilts will be primary for my wife and backups for me.
I field tested both this past week-end while visiting my son. The house was full of visiting relatives, so I brought along my Dream Hammock Thunderbird and my new Arrowhead Quilts. My hang spot involved a very large tree in the edge of the woods in the backyard, and one of the support beams on my granddaughter's swing set/jungle gym.
I was amazed at how simple the set up was for the New River. Granted, I paid particular attention to Paul's video on not over cinching the UQ so that would slide off the shoulder or whatever. I allowed enough room between the hammock and the UQ so that when I physically got in the hammock, it closed the gap between the two, thus eliminating any heat loss. I am also aware that it is July and that I may need some tweaking in November. The lows for this past week-end in Scituate, Massachusetts were in the low to mid-50's F.
The Owyhee TQ also was great. I actually had it off to my side for much of the night. After getting up at 2am or so for the inevitable walk to relieve myself, when I got back, I pulled the TQ over my chest and warmed up in an instant.

The quality of both was impeccable. Thanks so much for your great customer service and your attention to detail. I will certainly be ordering more products from Arrowhead.
All the best !
