WB Ridge Runner with EE Prospect UQ?

[lycanthropejeff]

Greetings Colleagues,

I'm in the market for an UQ for an upcoming outing and I've narrowed my choices down to either the AHE Ridge Creek (specifically designed for the WBRR) or the EE Prospect. Does anyone have any experience with the latter combo? I favor a longer quilt and I like the size options from EE. I also have time to wait for an order if I order in the next couple of days. You advise is appreciated!

I agree - I like the length options available from EE. However, the width is 44" which would extend up the sides in the center of the hammock and may interfere with use of the saddlebags.
Having said that - I have a AHE Jarbidge that is 42" wide that I use on my Ridgerunner. I like the way it wraps up the sides further than the Ridge Creek (although I have never used a Ridge Creek) even though it does mess up the use of the pockets a little. If the pockets are hung inside the quilt it pushes the quilt away from the hammock creating cold areas. If the pockets are hung outside the quilt they pull down on the top edge of the quilt negating some of the benefit of the higher sides. But I really like the suspension design on the Jarbidge. It works great on the Ridgerunner.
Ideally, IMO, a 38" rectangle in desired length would be just right. Perhaps one of the vendors would make a custom size for you.
Here's how the 42" fits on the Ridgerunner.

P-

Thanks for the reply; just the kind of info I was looking for. I'll check out the Jarbridge...
