early thoughts for summer gear

**DeRozea** · 12-01-2013, 15:26

so now that we are starting winter I figured to get the jump on researching summer UQ. I am thinking synthetic due to moisture issues. I am not sure which vendors have synthetic, AHE, JRB... not sure who else
I am looking for a
full length or a longer 3/4( I am 6' and don't want to carry multiple bedding materials, pads and UQ)
synthetic
40 or 50*F
what is out there or where can I find it?
laminar or apex/climashield? any other synthetic material I don't know of?

The Jarbridge UQ from Arrowhead Equipment should do what you are after. If you are quick they are giving free upgrades to Climashield Apex insulation (more warmth and compresses better) currently.

If you are after full length then the New River from Arrowhead is what you are after.

I have been thinking about getting a summer quilt as well.
I figured that if I got a 40 degree quilt for summer and paired it with my 20 degree fall quilt then I could theoretically have somewhere close to a 0 degree winter setup. Does this sound at all practical?

oh how I LOVE my polar zeppelin (-25F) from you at UGQ. warm warm warm!!!
I have the specks for the TQ to match but cant get it yet. (sorry to find the dream hammock mod after I received it)
this past summer was a wet, dreary summer so was thinking synthetic for it. due to moisture and washing features(I get sweaty easily on hot days, but we have mosquitos so need the padding to protect my...butt)
