hi all unsponsored asked a few of us a while back to try out one of his u/quilt for hammocks as it was i was lucky enough to get it for the moot. firstly when it arrived i noticed how small it was for a 3/4 u/q .the feel of it you can tell it is very good quality quilt, it was easy to attache to my hammock and was easily adjusted to the height i wanted. it took a little time for it to loft out but was fine when i went to bed.on a couple of nights people complained that they were cold and needed extra blankets in there tents but i found in my hammock which consisted of thermorest u/q and two season sleeping bag. i found i was toasty warm and had no problem with the cold.overall i would say that the u/q was more than adaquate for for its purpose especially for summer use. though i found it a little small for my dd hammock and i think i would like to try out a full length one in winter to see what thats like, apart from that what a fantastic piece of kit small warm easily attached and if you havant got one get one. thankyou unsponsored for letting me try one of these great bits of kit i will be getting one off: you soon regards dave.:lmao::campfire:RIMG0348.jpgRIMG0354.jpgRIMG0349.jpgRIMG0368.jpgRIMG0347.jpgRIMG0365.jpgRIMG0345.jpgRIMG0356.jpgRIMG0367.jpgRIMG0364.jpgRIMG0357.jpgRIMG0346.jpgRIMG0358.jpgRIMG0369.jpgRIMG0366.jpgRIMG0359.jpgRIMG0360.jpgRIMG0361.jpgRIMG0362.jpgRIMG0363.jpg

No need for the Thermarest at this time of year really Dave, I switch to my two season Vango synthetic bag around April time and use that along with one of Phils UB until around October time. Then I'll start using my Alpkit winter bag and eventually swap Phils UB for my US full length number.
Great bits of kit and anyone looking to lighten or reduce bulk in their load should seriously look at one.
