You can use the IX UQ with or without a protector. Almost everyone who has an IX UQ uses no protector. IX is windproof and water resistant, and almost a vapor barrier by itself.
No one has reported any condensation problem with IX UQs, with or without a protector. IX doesn't breath much, so adding the silnylon outer cover has little added effect. If you get too hot, the IX UQs are easy to ventilate.
I have a 2QZQ UQ Protector, and I like it a lot! I never notice that it is even there.
I'm puzzled... why do you feel you cannot use an IX UQ without a protector? Why must you fuss about vapor barriers?
I suppose a hybrid might be the Shamu IX UQ or the Baby Orca IX UQ. They both have a breathable nylon outer cover.
It's been done. I have forgotten who reported stowing their IX UQ in snakeskins with the hammock.
