Cuben UQ

[Just Jeff]

You've slept in VB hammocks or hammocks with VB underquilts?

I used to have a Crazy Creek made from coated polyester (IIRC) that was not breathable. I recently made a sil hammock...so the hammocks were VB and not the UQs.

Jeff, why would you have the Sil against the hammock? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it on the bottom where it could protect from splash?

What MarshLaw says.

I guess then, I'm thinking if you're going to use a VB at all, why not just completely wrap the UQ in said material. Or do the racing stripe of breathable material thing like that guy in the UK does.

You need a breathable strip for the quilt to loft up after compression. It can work w/o the strip but takes longer to compress and loft. MarshLaw may have some comparison numbers on how much longer since he makes them.

VB is an art for sure. It takes time to learn how to use it and make it work for you. Not as simple buy it and try it kinda thing, sadly.
