my status just changed to processing yesterday. I'm seriously like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Just a quick update guys: the UQ I ordered back on the 31st July arrived in my hands yesterday! Woohoo!
4 1/2 months total wait but judging by the quality of the quilt when I checked it over yesterday it looks to be worth the wait... in fact I already ordered the matching top quilt to go with it during the Black Friday sales!
It gets it's first outing tonight and the forecast temps are -1 Celsius (30.2 Fahrenheit). The UQ is a 2/3s length (against me it covers back of the neck to just below back of the knees) 20 degree Carolina Reaper quilt. Should be good for almost all UK weather it will encounter though it's my first less than full length quilt so a bit of a gamble. I'll report back on how things go, hopefully with pictures!
Well I survived! TBH it wasn't the best night's sleep I think due to me needing to dial in the UQ a little more. I kept finding a creeping cold patch woke me every few hours...not an air gap to the outside as such but I think the quilt was pulling away from contact with the hammock at certain points\sleeping positions. Any tips for getting a good snug fit against the back of the hammock people? Its been a few years since I had to dial one in and I think I've forgotten how I did it exactly! lol

Thanks George. I have already watched the Shug vid as this was the first UQ I've had with secondary suspension. I guess I've just not pulled the secondary suspension tight enough maybe? Like I said the ends have been snugged up properly and there is no air gap there especially with the draft collar (again a first for me). If it helps at all I'm trying this with my Dutchware Chameleon Wide hammock...
ordered my series saver's 30 degree uq nov. 4th, at 11 below zero here this am, it will be a while before i can use it, but looking forward to it, i could hang in the garage when it comes. happy new hanging year.
How do you even check the status on an order?
Click on products, then Account-Sign-in. I checked mine though I'm still more than 2 months from my completion date per the estimate on the website.
Not getting my hopes up to have my 0° Ridge Reaper for this winter. Might look for a used Lynx or bite the bullet for a new one to tide me over until my Reaper shows up.
