Does anyone have any reviews/thoughts on how well the jungle pepper quilt fits and works on the nx-270?

Don't own one, haven't seen one, but seeing how it was made specifically for the Clark I would assume it fits & works quite well. It's not like you're buying a generic & trying to make it fit to the Clark.

The Jungle Pepper series of underquilt is the first down quilt to hit the market for the Clark Jungle Hammock. No more fussing and trying to adapt a quilt that wasn't made for the Clark. You get a full 80" of coverage, and setup is a snap. Just clip the two fixed suspension ends (no adjustment hassles) and clip the side tensioners to the loops next to your hoop support. Snug the tensioners, and you're off to a warm nights sleep.

Fits the Clark NX250, NX 270, TX 250, TX 270.

My review on the Jungle Pepper under quilt for Clark Hammocks from Loco Libre Gear.

I had the chance to test out the new Jungle Pepper under quilt that George from Loco Libre Gear has come up for the Clark Hammocks. Clark Hammocks are the only hammocks that I will use and I had tried Under quilts from other benders and was never really satisfied with the way that they fit under any of my Clark Hammocks that I have owned. So when I found out that George was making one for the Clarks I had to get my hands on it to try it out. When I first received it in the mail and got it open, the first thing I did was check out the quality of the stitching and saw that the workmanship was perfect. I wouldn't expect anything other from George though. Once I got my NX-270 hung up, I attached the under quilt to the ends of the hammock like you would with any other using the carabiners. But George has also added 4 mitten hooks. 2 on each side. Those mitten hooks clip onto the tag loops that are on the Clarks keeping the under quilt in the perfect position so it don't twist or slide on the hammock. The Jungle Pepper is wider than all of the others that I have tried, so it makes for a better fit on the Clarks. The under quilt also has plenty of length so that no part of my body, from head to foot was ever past it. So no cold heels or head. All in all I am very pleased with the design and plan on getting myself a couple of them. One for cool weather and one for cold weather.

Sent from my VS988 using TapatalkI have had and used other brands but they never would fit lime I felt they should. That's what makes this one different. George designed it around the Clark hammock to make sure it fit like a glove. You wouldn't regret getting yourself one. Its a great product from a great company..

I've had my nx250 and incubator down to -10 and been warm but there was always the issue if the quilt popping off my shoulder or foot every time I'd move a little bit because of the spreader bars.

Sent from my VS988 using TapatalkThat's one of the problems I would have with the others too. With the jungle pepper that don't happen because he has put in mitten clips that attach to the little loops on the side of the hammock up by the spreader poles.. The clips are also on shock cord so you can tension it up as you wish.

I took advantage of the sale and ordered a zero degree for $244. That's only $45 more than a z-liner and will be much warmer.

Looks like the sale is extended until the end of the month.

I am very late in posting this but here it goes. Last year at the NJ Winter Hang George said he would bring the prototype and let me test it out. So I am taking a nap and I hear George calling my name. So I get out of my Clark NX250 and we take my underquilt off and put the jungle prepper on. Now understand we made no adjustments or fitting. We clipped each end to the suspension and the mitten hooks to my loops and walked away. Fast forward to sleep time. I wanted to really test this thing out. I sleep with minimal clothes. It was 23* when I got in the hammock wearing only a light wool T shirt, thin socks and skivies. I did not tuck my top quilt around me as I wanted to see how well the jungle prepper did on its own. I wish I could tell you more but I fell asleep and and only woke up once for a bladder empty. I was warm and comfortable all night. No cold spot just heat from head to toe and side to side. I liked it so much I never gave it back till George threatened death and jail time as he needed it for a demo. This past weekend I was forced to use my old set up and found it lacking compared to Georges jungle prepper. My order will be placed this weekend.
