I've got 3/4 length and some elastic made by one of the guys on the forum. Currently stored hanging in my loft. Blue with silver liner, think it's ripstock with siberian down fill. Can't remember the 'full' spec. Works lovely, but at 6ft 4ins I found my legs got a little cold in -5'c. I've had a custom hammock which is about 2x the size of the average so it no longer works for me. I'm looking for £50 (not inc P&P). I'm going to the moot if you are too...

it packs down tiny. I use a small stuffsack to compress it completely down and it's very light. When I used it with my hennessy asym it was good and warm. I'll get it down from the loft and pack it in/get it weighed. It's always been hung after use (only been used a couple of times and kept dry).

Might need to shake the stuffing about a bit, but the loft is fine.

Probably could compress it better in a sac, but don't have one for it, usually just stick it in with the hammock.

Royal Mail signed 1st class is £6.75 for a medium parcel. About 35p less for 2nd class unless you have a preferred/cheaper signed for service you know of!

Would like to bump this thread too as I am in the market for a down underquilt!!

If you do manage to get hold of him Mereside could you possibly tell him I am on the lookout for 1 too?

Cheers

Yeah they're all a fix it up and see idea. The idea is to get it to stay put, but the bungles allow it to stretch around the bottom of the hammock without compressing it. I stuck a load of elastic in it, far more than you'll ever need!
