Black and blue Underquilt

[unsponsored]

This is my latest hammock underquilt, just completed today. It will also be the last for a little while.

It is constructed from blue ripstop pertex and black ripstop nylon. This is the only UQ I have made in this combination of colours. I think its a good match and looks good. Blue inner and black outer. The Black out is also waterproof with a good DWR treatment. The pertex is nice and soft as well as being breathable but windproof.

The material is strong, lightweight and allows the UQ to pack nice and small.

Just under 320g of 800+ fill (thats EU spec) goose down in 6 sewn-through baffles.

Bungee drawcords each end with colour coded drawcord locks, and black grosgrain suspension points on each corner.

Size is approx 150cm by 115cm. So is slightly longer than my usual 120cm 3/4 UQ.

100% polyester gutterman thread used throughout - strong and rot proof.

This shows the UQ in an Exped 5 litre waterproof stuff sack (small) for an idea of pack size.

Cost - £110 inc of special delivery or £100 rec delivery.

I have had a couple of qs about the hammock sock. Basically it can add a few extra degrees of warmth to your set up by slowing the windchill effect without building up condensation. It would also give some protection against bugs.

What price would you want for just a Hammock sock by itself?

The socks are still at the proto stage. I do have plenty of material. Material costs would be about £28 plus a little for my time and postage.

the soc k i assume it simioler to the HH under blanket system ie a secondary thin layer

i use the HH one with a second sleeping bag slung in it as an under blanket so if you have a spare bag its a cheaper way to get an underblanket

That's a pretty good idea.
