    still have those hammock materials!

    I'm cleaning out my closets and just landed on them, years later! I'm giving them away, so if you'd like them and can pick them up sometime in the next couple of weeks, let me know!

    ps as to how much, again.....as I said, everything together is $100 plus shipping. It doesn't make sense to part it out, so it really only makes sense if you want to do 2 quilts.

    Hi there,

    The ripstop and the climashield are both already cut (and burned, in the case of the ripstop) to the dimensions I posted. The ripstop is olive.

    thanks very much....I just ordered the KAQ Jarbridge river--for $100, it seemed like the best speedy option. Now I'll just try to sell my materials to someone who wants both a UQ and a topquilt.

    don't believe the rating, not for a second. I had a 25-degree sub-kilo, and was absolutely freezing in it at 40+. they don't use the EN standards (which have 3 numbers, for female comfort, male...
