    if any of you notice a sale come up
    The next one will probably be Black Friday.

    Best to do a test hang under controlled conditions so you know what your limits are. As others have said, the temp range provided is a guide as everyone's comfort level is different.

    A couple of pictures of one of my Jarbridges ( I must like them as I have bought 4 of them over the years ) on a BlackBird. I also recommend using Triangle Thingies to help keep any UQ in place.

    I bought one. I'm testing it out the night that I get it!! I sleep hot and have multiple sleeping bags (that I use as TQs) that are rated down into the negatives. Obviously I have 3 and 4 season ones as well but usually I sleep with just a blanket during the summer bc I get too warm and kick it off anyways.

    But thank you so much for those pictures. I was wondering what the triangle thingies did lol. I will have to order those after I try it out and make sure I need them. (Who am I kidding, I'm addicted and I'm sure I'll grab them regardless haha)

    Pic two from gunnar76 shows the little Jarbidge stock suspension green carabiner poking out right above the gathered end. The other end of the UQ has a little black carabiner so you can keep track of the head and foot end based on how they are adjusted.

    What I haven't figured out yet is if there is an intended "top" and "bottom" side of the UQ. Other than a color difference the fabric on each side looks the same to my untrained eye.

    In another thread, from long ago, Paul stated that the Jarbidge is reversible - doesn't matter which side is out - or in.

    Here's a picture of the Jarbidge on a Ridgerunner. Only had it down to 37* so far. Very comfortable in just cotton skivvies.

    Jarbidge stock suspension green carabiner
    Close....actually it is one of a batch I had ordered with my local hiking trail name on it.

    The Jarbriges are reversible and there is no head or foot end. While I usually use them while car camping, I have used them while hiking on the AT. Since it does not compress as much as down I used a compression bag and strapped it to the out side of my pack

    Ah, your group buy 'biners.
    Those are some I bought several years ago and I have used them all ( attached to UQ's, used for Tarp ridge lines and or tarp tie outs ect ) and or given them away to boy scouts so I had to get some more thus the group buy.

    I cannot speak for the jarbridge, but I have a KAQ potomac for my HH explorer deluxe. I took it down to 30 this past spring with no issues. I bought this one just before they started offering the apex upgrade as standard insulation for all quilts so they probably do even better now. Bummer though, I would have enjoyed having the upgraded insulation.
