I've seen at least one thread of a down vest converted to an UQ, but I don't remember any good reviews of how it worked. I just snagged a very warm L. L. Bean down vest from Goodwill for ten bucks, and it's just screaming UQ. Now it would only be torso length of course, but I'm thinking it might help augment my pad system, which often leaves my shoulders a bit chilly.
So if I install zippers to close off the arm holes, could this be a viable UQ with a simple attachment system or would I need significant modifications to properly attach it?
