I have a full length Arrowhead underquilt that I am using with my GE hammock. Everything is warm for me except just a little cold spot in my butt. I'll be going to a group hang this Saturday so I'm hoping to get things squared away there.
I've checked to make sure the head and foot end aren't over tightened. My wife looked at each end while I was in the hammock and didn't see any gaps or any sag in the hammock.
I have my primary suspension up pretty good, I think 5 inches above hammock height is a good starting point.
For reference my UQ is 15 degrees and my TQ is either 20 or zero.
Trip 1 was 39 degrees and I was of course warm.
Trip 2 was 25 degrees and a little windy. I was warm except for my butt. And by warm I don't mean toasty, I just mean I wasn't cool or cold in any of those areas.
I have ordered the "triangle thingies" from AEQ and I believe I read something somewhere about using prussiks and running the suspension through that area first before going to the gathered end loop... but I'd want to see pictures or a video before trying.
I contacted Paul at AEQ and he thinks that it's probably just the UQ not lifting up enough since the cold spot is only in one area.
I also have an UQ protector, if that's of any help.
