For a tarp I could see that coming in handy, but for a UQ, I would wonder if the stiffness impeded the insulation loft. Is it noticeably noisy when you move around in your hammock?

    If cuben weren't so expensive, I'd experiment more with it. As it is now, I have to stick to the cheap stuff for my frankenstein-projects!!
    no cuben is a little stiff but nothing like Tyvek so it's easy to work with and molds to your body nice... at least i think it does

    WoW what can I say that hasent already been said. But that is one sweet looking UQ. Very nice job I tip my hat to ya. Cant wait to check it out at the MAHA.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    And . . . ?

    So G.L.P.

    What's the verdict on the quilt in cold weather? Inquiring minds want to know.
