Down-filled hammock underblanket

[Tiley]

Does anyone know of a company or someone who makes a down-filled underblanket?

My reason for asking is that, while I like the Snugpak/BCUK version I have, it does take up a vast amount of space in my rucksack - and I am trying to go lighter/be slimmer when I pack for the woods.

Many thanks for any links or contact names!

Well, there's "unsponsored" on here for one...

Yup, UNSPONSORED (a member on these boards) does great underquilts.

Unsponsored is making one for me as I type...he has had good reviews so am looking forward to using mine at the end of the month.

I've got an Unsponsored 3/4 length UQ, great bit of kit packs down really small.

I made my own and am happy with the result but swore never again - there also plenty of other swearing but the less said about that the better.

I've seen one of Unsponsored's quilts and can attest to their quality

lol, me too!
I made one I even plucked the feathers myself, just the whole washing the feathers, drying them, etc is just not worth the hassle.
if they are expensive...there's a reason, it's a blummen pain to make! lol

Can't wait to test it out
