DIY Apex 6.0 Full Length Winter Underquilt w/ Channels

[atrane21]

I had to do that the other week for something i made. They didn't have any problems weighing it for me. Sorry, i meant stuffed size comparison, maybe to a nalgene or something like that.

Thanks!

Finally remembered to take the underquilt with me to the Post Office.

Quilt + full suspension, cord locks, all in, 39oz.

The heavier 1.9oz DWR fabric for the outer fabric, the length, the full suspension, it all adds up.

We'll see how low it will go. Has seen 40's and it was ridiculously warm.

Winter is coming...

Changing the outside fabric from 1.9 to 1.1 AND changing the inner fabric from 1.1 to .9 Argon, could save approximately 4 oz.

24 oz of Apex 6.0
12 oz of fabric at 4sq/yds of 1.9oz & 1.1oz
3 oz of Shockcord+cordlocks+titanium ridgeline biners

So 39oz for a 80"x58" an Apex 6.0 Underquilt with full channel, including suspension (shockcord+cordlocks+biners)

Could get it down to 35oz by changing fabrics.

Will be making another one using 1.1oz and 1.0oz fabric during the next week and will get numbers for that one as well. Making a few minor design changes and using trying a few different programs to work up some diagrams. Open to suggestions.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Really like the design so if you make diagram with dimensions/specs that'd be awesome. They're always helpful. Haha
