    Underquilts from Wish/Geek

    I know these are not the best quality, but this will be my first Underquilt, and I don't want to spend too much on something if I don't like it. That being said there are two styles, they have one that looks liek a standard Underquilt with no visible Baffles, and one with Visible Baffles, but that also seems to be cut into the shape of the hammock. Which do you think I should try first?

    Just going to be honest. I have looked at the ones on wish and geek....the ones I have found are not worth it. They will not keep you warm under maybe 50 degrees and they arent going to hang right. If you want to try a cheap option, get a sleeping bag and use shock cord and clips to hang it under your quilt.

    I want to add, I made the mistake of buying one when I first started. I am speaking from experience. I literally got what amounts to a sleeping bag.

    I've only ever seen the scary/funny expectation vs. reality posts for Wish (eg. https://imgur.com/cIU5uPp) which is enough to steer me away from ever buying from them.

    Amazon has some inexpensive UQs, and I believe there is even a favorable review of one somewhere on this forum. While not ideal, at least they won't send you a bandanna with paperclips on the end. Just my 2 cents.

    I've bought stuff from Geek and Wish and never had anything liek that happen except once when they were offering a free 3D Printer and I got a piece of Filament. Also, I live on the Gulf Coast and it doesn't get all that cold. But I'll listen to your advice and avoid Wish/Geek, even if they will refund your money if you are scammed by one of their sellers.
