    The insultex one? I've made a number of them for various members of the forum.. They work to about 35°.. As advertised on DIYGS

    I like them, light for a synthetic, roll small.. And cheap

    My son made a couple of these when we first started using hammocks. They work well - I believe that we used them down to around 30 degrees with no issues. We have had good experiences with DIY Gear supply as a vendor as well.
    see you on the trail,

    Thanks for the answer, I placed an order with them over the weekend. I going to make two hammocks and I thought if that goes well I may add a set of these as well. I don't man on being out lower than 40 so this may be a great option.

    Great quilt option for our region. Mine stays on my diy hammock all the time, along with the bugnet. Whole package stuffs into a double ended stuff sack, and easily fits in the tent compartment of my backpack.

    Thanks for the help guys, I found the original thread started by Scott that talks about it. In the title it only used the abbreviation for insultex. That's why I never found it. He listed it on his web page in one if the comments.
