Hey gang,
I just finished constructing a two layer IX under-quilt. The finished dimensions are 44W X 60L. This one is unique, I think, because I inserted a layer of reflective Mylar between the two differentially cut layers. The Mylar is cut five inches shorter at each end to avoid having to sew in pleats and to minimize any moisture retention. This works very well for reflecting heat back to the bottom of the hammock. The shock cord adjustment works like a charm for preventing wind and cold drafts from coming through at the ends. It served me well last week during a violent thunder storm in Missouri where winds peaked at 65mph. I'm not sure what the temperature was when the cold front came through, but it was **** chilly outside. No worries at all.
Cheers
