Since I'm finally finishing up the down UQ, and since I'm so slow, I thought it's about time to start working on the down TQ to match the UQ. I've looked at a bunch of the cottage vendors offerings, and it looks like they either to crosswise channels or crosswise at the bottom, and lengthwise at the top. Thoughts on the tradeoffs?
Also, from reading some of the threads on HF, it seems that the consensus is that differential cut really isn't necessary for the TQ, so I plan on not doing that.
I'm also trying to decide on sewn footbox vs drawcord end. I'm very much tempted to go with the simpler and more versatile drawcord. Maybe I'll add a draft tube so that will essentially block the hole when the drawcord is tight, but I could still open it up and use it like a Sniveler to stay warm around camp. Thoughts?
