Mt washington 3 convertible / partial UQ systems

[Mustardman]

As we start to wind down the end of summer, I've been thinking more and more about underquilts. I really like the idea of a partial UQ with supplementary insulation under my legs, but my fiance isn't sold on the idea.

I just so happened to see the Mt washington 3 convertible, and the idea looks perfect to convince her - partial UQ for the normal times, and the option to add something for her feet if she gets really cold. Seems pretty much like a win-win... EXCEPT for the price. That's a lot of coin for an UQ

Does anyone have any experiences to share with the mt wash 3 convertible? How did it work out for you??

Also, I've noticed there are a lot of new partial UQ's being offered as made by forum members - could someone please give me a short list of all of them that are available (preferably with prices) so I can get a rough summary of what I've missed in the last few months?


Thanks very much!

I have the Mt. Washington 3 Regular UQ and love it. I'm a cold sleeper so I'd probably never need the convertible option but i would say it's an awesome quilt.

Not exactly sure but the Yeti and Te-Wa are both in the $180 ballpark

First, let me say I'm sorry I haven't been around lately, guys - I became addicted to Busse family knives and have been trolling their forums looking for steel. I've bought something like 14 knives in the last 4 months

I don't know of anyone who owns a set (a newly released item)
I agree with the $$ part...since I have not yet tried it, I'll withhold judgement

That two piece Mt Washington looks like the ticket to me. For a 20 F UQ, I'd just get the top section and carry a 48in ridgerest or evazote. They make that little Z-rest sit pad, you could place that inside the foot section of your topquilt and that might be all you need.

Here is a picture of my two 1/2 UQ's being used together.
Really works and gives some terrific options.......

hey shug, do you just overlap them? how does that work?

My state income tax check FINALLY arrived, so it looks like I might be able to swing two of these after all....

That photo got me to add 3 small velcro tabs to hold them together and pretty much seal the gap. Works ... and easy.
