    VIDEO: Zeppelin UQ Review

    My review of the zeppelin underquilt. I am not a professional maker of movies and not nearly as entertaining as shug, fronkey, or any of those other guys. I just wanted to contribute to the forum by posting my review of a quilt I got. It is new to the market and I thought a video review would help shed some light on this new offering in the light weight quilt market. So, I present to you the 20° Zeppelin Under Quilt:

    Good job on the review dude!
    Looks like you'll be nice and toasty from now on and no worries about frozen booty with that Zeppelin in your pack.

    PE...Thanks for the great review, that quilt should keep you nice and toasty well below 32* with 14 oz down...Snug as a Bug...

    Appreciate your efforts putting that together....

    Sr1355, it should, I noticed an air gap under my butt from not having it tight enough and I was still warm at 32. 32 was just the limit if my actual testing. Great quilts, I wish you the best with your new business.

    So just as a funny observation my video got ~50 views all day yesterday. Shug's glove video got ~50 in 15 min. Shows you what a hammock star Shug really is. I do like those over mitts he had, to bad they aren't made anymore.
