UKhammocks 2/3 Summer UQ compression sack

[welchyd1]

Hi guys, just received my underquilt from Matt and its amazing. For gone reason I assumed it would come with a stuff/compression sack. Unfortunately it didn't. Does anyone know of one that would be suitable?

For my down UQ i got from Unsponsord I use a Sea to Summit dry bag. The ones where you can squeeze the air out of them, role the top down and clip it shut. Works a treat.

Just make sure for storage its left uncompressed as long term compression knackers the down loft.

Cheers mate, I always store my bags and quilts out of there sacks. Its more the size of bag I'm after.

I can measure my uq when I get home tonight and then tell you what size bag I use if that helps.

Get a bin bag, put the UQ in, keep squashing it down untile you've removed all the air and tie it off - this'll give you the size you need. Mine goes down to about grapefruit size. Think I use a mountain warehouse version of the sea to summit bags, second smallest size (you buy them in packs of 3 or 4 if I recall).

I store my uk hammocks down top quilt in a 10 litre dry bag from sports direct, it fits in there really well!!

So if my winter quilt fits in there your smaller under quilt should fit no problem mate!!

Just ask the nice peeps at uk hammocks what one to get. They advised the right size alpkit for my winter underquilt.

I've just found a small eurohike compression bag in the loft which it fits in perfectly.
