    1/2 underquilt?

    Does any manufacturer make a 1/2 underquilt (maybe 40”-ish)? At 5’6” the 52” UQ is a bit overkill for summer temps in NC. I imagine I could do a custom order, but wondered if they were already out there.

    The Warbonnet Yeti is 46" long
    From website:
    The Yeti is our underquilt for end-gathered hammocks like our Blackbird, Blackbird XLC and Traveler series, but will also work on just about any end-gathered design.
    The Yeti is a torso-length underquilt (40″ wide by 46″ long), covering roughly from shoulders to almost your knees, you’d then use a short leg pad under your legs in colder weather to achieve head to toe bottom insulation.

    The Yeti is nice. I recommend adding secondary suspension to it. Not at all hard to do.

    If you want something that is the ultimate in ultra-light you should check out locolibregear.com Recon Series of quilts. The 60° Recon Series Ghost Pepper top quilt is a 3/4 length with airy light 900 fill power goose down weighing between 6-8 ounces. The under quilt is 50" long an rated to 60° and weighs only 5.7 ounces. So for less than 12-14 ounces you have a 3/4 set of quilts rated at 60° but I've taken mine to 57° (so far) and did't need any other insulation. Perfect for the Southern US in late spring, all summer, and early fall.

    I was comfortable down to 55F in my LLG Recon quilts, and I've taken the Operator Habanero UQ all the way down to 45F. Super light, super high-quality, meets its specs, and performs better than advertised. That's LLG.

    I’ve been really interested in the operator 50. I saw that you had it down to 45, so that’s super encouraging that it would extend the usage a bit. I’d been thinking about a 40 otherwise.
