View Full Version : 2QZQ Underquilt Protector Vid
I got an UQ protector from 2QZQ and I think it is the bomb. Disclaimer; I am the supplier of ARGON fabric, which is one of the fabrics used and is perfect by the way for this purpose. The ARGON has a quality DWR finish so it is will keep mist and splash of your quilt. It blocks wind and yet it is breathable enough that moisture won't build up. Their design is easy to use and adjust to a nice snug fit. There is a draw cord in the center that allows you to cinch it up so you are protecting the quilt but not compressing the insulation. It really helped me out last night extend the rating of my UQ and keep drafts out.

Thanks for the video Dutch. I just got my UQ Protector and tried it for the first time last night. I didn't know the adjustment was there. I was so confused as to why there was so much slack and no adjustments on the ends!
Videos always help!
Used my protector the last two weekends. It has been dry weather but the cold winds each weekend were very easy to manage because of the protector. Looking forward to taking more advantage of its capability. Like it a lot.

I purchased my breathable ripstop UQP about a year ago, before Argon. The first time I used it I was really upset to find at least 6oz of water standing in it in the morning! There's no way that was condensation so rain must have got in somehow. I have no idea how.
I never liked how it fit, so I messed with it last night and got it to fit like a glove. Looking forward to trying it again this winter.

I put a cord lock (http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p348/Cord_Lock.html) on one end and added a micro biner on the UQP side to give me a bit more adjustment. Works like a charm.

If you get a chance, can you include a picture so we can see what you did? Thanks

No pic but it really is simple. You put the two shock cords from one end inside the cord lock (http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p348/Cord_Lock.html) (< click) with a mini biner and adjust by sliding the lock up or down the shock cord.

Sounds good! I was going to add a cord lock but just tied a few knots instead, which gives me enough adjustment.
