    WTB: Custom UQ

    What do you have? I'm open-minded, but have given up on what's commercially available.

    Just for the sake of curiousity, why? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Because they all have shortcomings, that's why.

    Any gear has its shortcomings. Anything in particular that's let you down? Which commercially made UQ's have you tried?

    you might try contacting PJgibson /arrowhead eq. about a custom KAQ- since he makes each one I think it could be adjused for your (unstated?) requirments.

    have you talked to Ed about making you a custom underquilt. I do wish he offered more underquilt options than what he does

    Also have you talked to Brandon

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    ...a most puzzling perspective.

    However, when, one day, you say you have acquired a custom UQ without shortcomings, please let us know! I want one too!
