    Underquilt for tall people

    So I'm looking at underquilts. I'm 6'5. Everybody's full length is pretty much my height. My questions are, can I get a custom underquilt made with extra length, or do tall people such as myself just treat the full length underquilts as 3/4 quilts and just get foot pad?

    Looking around the one I'm leaning toward is the Hammock Gear Incubator 20 long, unless...

    Adam at HG can do custom work too... you can get that 20° Incubator built to your specs, length and width.

    what kind of hammock do you have?
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    I don't think there is more than one or two shops that don't make custom lengths. Shop around for the features you like and contact the cottage shop to find out about adding a few inches.....you're within the usual "long" from most of us.

    I'm 6'3" and have LOADS of room to stretch out in my long zeppelin from ugq. It should be a great fit for you!

    We offer a 83" Long model available in 40/20/0 temp ratings. Keep in mind that you sleep on a diagonal in a hammock which places you on a diagonal in the quilt extending their effective lengths as well.

    At 6'5" I'd go with the 83" LONG model if you are wanting full coverage, the 77" FULL model we offer would probably just fit you but for that extra room and coverage the 83" LONG is the way I'd go. You can use shorter quilts if you are willing to sacrifice coverage.

    As for fitting on your hammocks we had many sales to both HH owners and ENO owners with no known fitment issues. Most gathered hammocks will accept our Zeppelin UQ with no modifications needed. The HH Classic series has bottom entry, have you had a zipper mod installed???
