Finally Climashield Apex so its time for a hammock UQ. What weight

[Troy Ammons]

So I am going to finally build an UQ.

I have a golite ultra 20, so what weight UQ would I need to get me down to
20dF.

I am thinking a layer of 5oz + a layer of 2.5oz for a combined 7.5 oz or would 5 oz alone be enough.

Are there any instructions on how to set up the ends, cords etc.

What size would be best. Thinking 48" to keep the bulk down but full length would be nice.

Thanks

Troy, good luck with your DIY hammock under quilt.

I think I'd MUCH rather have Climahield in my garments than any version of Primaloft. I've had a Primaloft summer bag lose 3/4 of its loft in 2 years (actually a total of 2 months) of use in the '90s.

Now, after extensive testing, that the Marine Corps has chosen Climashield for their 3 season sleeping bag. I think many more people will see that Climashield does have the durability we wish all synthetic insulations had.

I believe there is a step by step on hammockforums.com

it talks about layers of insulation and temps
