UQ – full length or 2/3 ?

Chris,

a sitpad placed under your feet will be best, but if you are the type to stay in exactly the same place/position all night you may not need one. The pad shouldn't bunch up or move much so you shouldn't have much hassle. My concern would becold spots on my shoulder or feet if I move around.

Your 60" length will be great! Congrats on the light setup!

2/3 will do fine all year round with a pad under your feet..
sewn through is ok…but to be honest i'v made a few UQ in my time and i say make one with baffles you won't be sorry
and adding baffles is not hard at all…just alittle extra sewing …
and well worth it in the long run..

if you have any questions or get stuck on any part PM me i'll try to help in any way i can

Also one thing to consider on the length is that when gathered/cinched on the ends to close off any air channels the quilt will be slightly shorter than laid flat. I would also recommend trying a small pad for your feet if you don't go full length. A few weeks back at camp my pad was not under my heels and I knew it within a couple moments of climbing in the hammock, my heels were cold right away until I adjusted the pad. It was in the upper 60's at that point of the night.

I will probably try my MLD 2Thirds quilt as an uq if I can work out a way to attach it. In my backyard, I tried the JRB No Sniveller as an under. It fits perfectly but I was having trouble getting into the hammock without pushing the uq off to one side completely. I know, practice, practice. But it sounds easy until you try it.
