It sounds to me, that your Wooki is working like intended, and that you want something that it was never meant to do. If you want your underquilt to come up and wrap around your feet in the footbox, you will either have to get an underquilt with shock cords, or you have to modify your Wooki. I haven't had a problem with the Wooki not covering my feet, but I probably didn't press up to the fabric.
Where are your shoulders? Mine are just below the top of the insulation line on the head end - perhaps a little lower. Are you too far down on the hammock. Your feet look like they are pretty much past the bottom insulation line.
I'm repeating myself, but you have misconceptions about insulation and heat transfer. I've been winter camping for years at temps down to -40 and few times colder and I can't see your points.Originally Posted by Krow Hop
You make analogies with ground dwellers. A sleeping bag should not touch the shelter, not because of heat conduction but because it would create condensation at the contact points. A ground dweller places a narrow sleeping pad under him to be isolated from the cold ground. He doesn't try to wrap himself with it. The sleeping pad is one part of a sleeping system.
Try using the Wooki the way it was intended to, you're going to love it. An UQ is just that, it keeps you warm under you. It is only one part of a sleeping system.
Could I Circle back and ask:
Have you hung this outside in cold weather and felt cold along the area of concern while using a top quilt?

In my yard in the upper 30's and I felt coolness during the night along the area in question.

I had the same experience and my BBXLC is only a year old. I wasn't cold just cool enough to be a bother, added my Thermarest Slacker problem solved.
Was it with the BB and was the quilt installed properly? Did you try with the traveler, you wrote that it fits great, in the same conditions?
Adding a Thermarest defeats the simplicity of the UQ. I would try to find out what caused the problem.
Nothing is perfect we all hang and lay in our hammocks differently and it doesn't get much simpler than clip, clip and the slacker is installed. But I do plan on ordering a sock from Warbonnet when they're back on level ground with their remodel.
Yes,I hooked up to the bb as the video instructed.Traveller worked great, I got a great seal all around, It's my old version bb I'm having trouble with.Same conditions and only going off a few nights. I'm not getting the same fit. It's like this gap I'm getting in the old bb is channelling air or something.
