6oz Climashield Underquilt - My First DIY UQ
This is my first attempt in the world of underquilts. I've always used pads. Anyway, this is made of Wally world ripstop and 6oz climashield. It's about 86" long x 54" wide. I made the shell fabric about 5" total wider and and 5" total longer and darted the corners to make a bit of a differential. In retrospect, it's a bit too much difference. I think maybe 1" to 1 1/2" would be enough. Pics are of the UQ on my homemade 12' double layer hammock. So far...so good!
Oh yeah...I made the stuff sack long so that I can store it uncompressed and then compress it down by doubling over the stuff sack. That's what you see in the first two pics.
