Summer UQs

[drewboy]

I think that Mac is still working to get his new websites up and running. Here's a link to a sticky thread he just started on his quilts.

I don't think I've seen Mac's IX UQs. Is there a link?

Here's where you can learn about the Insultex based Molly Mac Gear:

STICKY: Six Models of IX UQs

VIDEO: IX UQ at Hot Springs

VIDEO: 5x1 Jerry Chair at Hot Springs

VIDEO: Trail Days, featuring IX UQ and 5x1 Jerry Chair

Soon, it will all be available on the Tree to Tree Trail Gear web site!

Stormcrow's quilts are nice indeed and have a little extra length and width. I'm thinking a small light sheet with the 3 season nest is plenty. You can hang the nest loose for hotter days and snug for those days that get a little cooler. Also, the nest can move toward the feet or head if your pone to getting colder there.

this is a very valid point, sir. how much are the going for?

I just got Mac's Symmetrical Medium IX UQ's ... won't be a UQ virgin for long ... $60 and really light and compact, think it is well under 8 oz but haven't weighed it.

Sorry, I missed this earlier...

$60 for a two layer nestable IX UQ with InsulTubes Torso Heater sewn-in insert, plus $10 insured S&H.

$80 for a one IX layer 5-in-1 Jerry Chair with InsulTubes Torso heater sewn-in insert, plus $10 per additional layer of IX, plus $10 insured S&H.

We have such a cornucopia of gear hear at HF! How do you decide between Speer, Perfect Trees, AHE, JRB, WB, TeWa, etc.?

Well I missed that boat. I weighed the Arrowhead Equip 1S 2/3rds quilt last night. 11.4 ounces in its stuff sack and including the 2 micro carabiners supplied.

You can find pictures of it along with pictures of the Arrowhead Aquasimple in this set: http://picasaweb.google.com/10183607...ToSnickersGap#

It is a very nice quilt and like I said, no need to worry about it slipping off

I will weigh it again to be safe or Paul can chime in if he sees this but recollection is 14 oz.

Thats my strategy! I got something from WB, AHE, Opie, Perfect Trees, Mac... my "to buy" list includes stuff from most of the other cottage guys

[drewboy]

That's also my strategy. Our cottage vendors are such a valuable resource around here and I do my best to support them all with my business.

D'Oh!

The Post Office scale says the Med Sym IX UQ w InsulTubes and extra layer and shock cords actually weigh about 8.3 oz. They must've caught an updraft while I was holding them.
