2qzq Under Quilt Protector

I'm pretty sure it's the ripstop. It weighs 7oz and is the least expensive. I can hold it up in front of me and can feel the air from the AC vent coming through from 10 feet away.

I don't think I want something that heavy duty because I still appreciate some breath-ability. But, if I put my mouth on mine, I can blow out a big candle from 6" away.

Just tried holding my UQP near (3 feet or so) my fan on max, couldn't feel any air coming through. Then I tried blowing through it, wouldn't have been able to blow out the smallest candle from 1" away.

This is mine:


I went with the camo pattern in Argon 90 and I really like it, dearer than the ripstop but still pretty cheap compared to a lot of the gear I've bought.
Maybe I made a good choice when I decided to go with the Argon 90?

I'm surprised to hear that. I have bought a couple of calendared ripstops for DIY, and I cannot blow through any of them. Where did you buy it? I would definitely contact the vendor and make sure they used calendared fabric. To me it sounds like you got uncalendared ripstop.

I don't think you can treat the fabric to make it windproof other than adding a coating which would decrease breathability. If you DIY, order some calendared ripstop (I can recommend Argon 90) and sew up a new UQP. The result should be much better than trying to "enhance" your existing UQP.

I got it from 2QZQ about a year ago.

Sounds like Argon90 is the way to go.

There goes another $35. Man this hammock thing can get expensive.
