Good Evening,
So after 4 generations of under quilts made from old sleeping bags (2 x summer and 2 x winter for me and my wife) I've finally got round to building one from scratch this weekend. The shell is construction from Pertex (I some available for free) with draw sleeves along all sides, shaped to fit my DD jungle hammock.
So, now I need to decide what I'm going to use as the wadding! and more importantly how much, I'm drifting towards thinsulate from Profabrics.co.uk, but I'm not 100% as I've had not experience with it, I'm also not sure how many 1/ 2? layers I should use - I want to be able to use my blanket most of the year round, so needs to be able to cope down to freezing comfortably - I'm happy adding something more for more extreme temperatures.
does anyone have any experience or advice on this front?
Once I'm don't with the build i'll post some photos and a pdf download of my template which I'm happy for anyone to use.
Cheers
mark
