costco down throw $19.95

[benfishin]

I checked with the Lehi Costco today. They said it is a new item and they will get them sometime closer to the end of the month. They arrive in the local distribution center the middle of the month and will take about a week or so to get to the store.
Patience.

Thanks sashasrd! Patience is so hard to have though

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgok , just got back from my local Costco. They had plenty of them as of today.i took a few pics to show what they look like. First the way it's packaged. Then the label. Then both sides and the stuff sack it comes with. One side appears shinier than the other. They are THIN make no mistake. But I think it could be used for summer quilt or added as an extra layer. I did not give it a chance to loft up at all. The item # is 638823. I think I'm going to put some snaps for a foot box with the versatility to be fully opened for my kids. Any questions I'll try to answer. For $19.99 plus tax I think it's a good start! Keep in mind I have just a little experience hammock camping as of yet!

Btw, the image of it in the stuff sack can easily be compressed a little smaller!

60 x 70. I guess 60 x 35 would be a little narrow for 2 summer weight under quilts. Maybe adding some material for the channels to widen them a bit?

Like with everyone else I'd be willing to pay for two. Nowhere near a Costco. Just getting into hammock camping these would work very well for the kind of camping we would be doing (late spring, summer, early fall).

The Costco by my house had a ton of them in all 4 colors. I picked up three, 2 in brown, 1 in purple. They also had gray and blue.

Depends on your size, Wilderness Logics SSUQ is 46" long, 33" at both ends, and 38", so you may be able make get 2 out of it without added material. I love my SSUQ!

Well, there is a community named Blue Ridge in central Texas, at least there are a few elevation changes there.

I saw this thread last night and had to stop at Costco today anyway. The East Peoria store had plenty (I may have been the first one to buy any) in all colors. I'll try it out for a light cover next time I'm in the hammock and see if it was worth the trouble. It does cry out to have something made of it, but I'm no tailor, if it can't be welded, bolted, screwed or rivetted together, I'm gonna have to look for adhesives.

None found in the local Costco. Will check another one in a few days. At least I got a decent hotdog out of the trip so the time wasn't wasted.
