    Top quilt for tall man (6'5") available in the UK?

    Hi,

    I am looking to buy a top quilt for my hammock, I am 6'5" and located in the UK. My budget is up to £100 (approx $150).

    Anyone know of something that would fit the bill and importantly available in the UK?

    Thanks!

    For that budget, you won't get down, but if you are not hiking where weight is an important factor, then synthetic is a perfect valid option. And, I guess, how cold a temperatures are you going out in?
    My best recommendation is, get in touch with Scotty Von Porkchop (he's on here and the HFUK site). His brand BeUL is very good, and he does bespoke work in synthetic and down.
    Other options are Alpkit and UK Hammocks.

    Thanks for the info, will investigate Scotty but bespoke sounds expensive to me...

    As for Alpkit and UK Hammocks I don't see them having anything suitable, am I missing something?

    Cheers.

    Snugpak?? Jungle blanket or similar product....Just a thought. It all depends on what temp rating you're looking for.

    Thanks, yes sorry I should've mentioned temperature rating in my original post, I am looking at something for 3 season use, down to around 3-5°C I would guess, do you have a link to suitable snugpak or jungle blanket product?

    Hi, I had a quite long communication with Rafael from Cumulus, Poland. He is willing to make a custom work if needed.

    Just an idea, will be few bucks more for your temperature, but hey its down.

    It's 159 euros... and only 177cm long, so overbudget and undersized...
