Anyone have any reports/reviews on the new summer series quilts. I'm really interested in the full length UQ and the XXL TQ combo.

+1 on a review of their summer UQ. I'll be watching this thread.
I have the short summer UQ. Very nice. I have only had it for a few weeks and used it in temps in the 60's. I have a Jacks 20 degree UQ and found it just too much in those temps even when vented. I really like the SSUQ so far. Very light and of course very well made. It is rated to 45 but I will not get to those temps until the fall. For the warm weather I have used it in so far I think it's great.
I woke up in my hammock this morning on my back porch (8 nights in a row) and thought about how my SSTQ has become one of my most beloved pieces of gear. We cuddled for about an hour before I had to get up and start getting ready for work. So far, it has been down to 55 and kept me nice and cozy. I cant speak for the SSUQ, but the TQ is first class.
I got a set last summer and I love everything about them.
Here's a little review I did back then.
I just bought the ss uq and tq set. I will be trying it out in two weeks on a trek. I'll let you know what I think
I'm really enjoying my summer UQ!

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
I do need to get a summer set. The last couple of campouts, the temps got down to mid 40's. I got chilled using my 20° UQ and TQ. I got overheated, and started to sweat, then came the chills. I did use the UQ and a poncho liner, and was warm most of the night, then the temps dipped a little more, and the poncho liner just wasn't enough. Thinking these will be the next big hammock purchase, when ever I get the funds together. I do have some scrape metal I should take to the scrape yard. Or try to sell the old truck I have......RR

I've got the short underquilt and I've been really enjoying it. It packs down so small and it's so light. It's been making a great quilt for the warmer weather. I had originally thought that I wanted the full length, but I've found that the shorter one works perfect for anything 60* or above.
I'll put together a video review in the next few days.
If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong
My SS UQ arrived yesterday after the usual 3 day wait from WL! It's very well made and easy to set up. It also packs down to the size of a grape fruit. I'm very pleased with it.
I can't wait to use it this weekend at the Western WA hang.
