    Under quilt stuffing update.

    I'm getting ready todo my first UQuilt, I'm looking for a simple update as to the best fill to use. I'm going to make two; one, good to 35f will be permanently attached to this version of my hammock. I also want to build an additional quilts for different temperatures.

    Anyways, links and info as to the best fill to use is what I'm looking for.

    I used 850 fill water resistant down from down linens. The higher the fill power, the lighter it is and smaller it compacts. You'll have to decide how much price vs weight & compressibility will factor for your decision. Ripstop by the roll carries down if you do not want to buy a full pound, which is how down linens sells it.
