    Once you have the uq in the position you want ...

    how do you keep it in that position throughout the night. I have wbb xlc and an incubator UQ. I get it in the position that is great and in five minutes the uq is sliding all over the place. It is the advetised size but it could easily be a third wider. Please help.

    Should be able to make adjustments to suspension to help it stay pulled into position, or there is always Dutch clips of many sorts

    Is it sliding head to foot or side to side?

    He has a variety of quilt hooks that either clip on your hammock or sew on to hod your UQ in place. Also, there should be little rings on your incubator that you can use in a variety of ways to hold UQ in place. I used to take a piece of cordage and tie to the ring on the UQ by my shoulder and run it over the ridgeline to the one on the side by my feet. It would keep the shoulder and foot end pulled up where I wanted it.

    It does have some plastic ring evenly spred down each side. I might try your suggestion. You say you used to do that. What do you do now?

    I got the new suspension put on and am able to adjust it to keep it where I want it. Just takes practice and a lot of fidgeting with it to get it where you want it. Now I just throw it on and pull it up where I want it once I get in and it stays in place

    Dutch sells some quilt hooks of various designs that could help you out.

    I use Grip Clips to keep mine in place; no suspension needed!
