Design and price dependent I'd be intertested. I'll hold on ordering the KAQ. A Hennessy opening design would be best for me.

Hope all is well, any news or progress from your man at snugpak?
Cheers.

If you pile your clothing round the sides of your sleeping bag inside the hammock that adds a little more insulation and acts as a great windbreak. Though its always better to have the windbreak on the outside of the hammock, and you can add clothing, dry grass etc as insulation.
I was going to buy a hennessy undercover and blanket, Magikelly how did yours perform??
I think you will find the progress with Snugpak will be slow so I would settle in for the longish haul. Think how long the insect netting took
I got on well with mine although I have not used it that much. When I did it was over two nights. The first night was cold, a little above freezing and the people in tents were complaining about the cold. I was not
It is far more comfortable than having the thermarest in your sleeping bag so I am a real convert.
Well at last, the long awaited update. Went to see Snugpak this afternoon and saw the MD and Factory manager, both very nice people. They were very interested in what we want. Would have had a sample to try out but there was one or two things they weren't sure off. I have now explained. They will hopefully have a price and possibly a sample next w/end. It will have Softie 9 for insulation which should keep us nice and warm.
Looks like its going to be o goer. Watch this space.

I am really pleased to hear that snugpak are moving ahead with the underquilt. I hear what MagiKelly says about the 'long haul'! Will be ready for the autmn then....Just about the right time for this item to come into it's own. Well done Wanderinstar. Keep up the good work and thanks from Swyn.

I'd be interested in 1-2 depending upon price.
The luverly down bag that I use in my Eco has generally kept me toasty on a frosty night, even when my rear end, which comes with it's own ample natural padding, was somewhat chilly. Can't be bothered with a mat, so quilting would be fantastic for that extra comfort.

Sounds promising. With luck they should be able to give you a rough idea of cost once the prototype has been made.
Good work

Nice one Ian!
I've only just seen this thread and it may mean I don't have to make my own. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap sleeping bag I can convert for some time now but this should be ideal.

Just been in to see Snugpak this afternoon. Think I have ironed out all problems. They will now make a sample and get a price sorted. After which we can get a couple of reviews done, then its down to you. Would really like to order 50 at a time, going back through thread there must be 50 names down already so it's looking good.

John yours in post tonight.

That's great news, wanderinstar - well done for getting this organised! Any ideas of timescales yet?
I'll definitely be up for at least one if things work out well...
