    I got my Jarbidge in the last sale and IMO it is worth every penny of the full price!
    I use mine with a "triangle thingy" on the foot end and the stock suspension on the head end with removable quilt hooks. Works amazingly well. I was using the triangle thingy on the head end, but the mini carabiner was hitting my head.

    I've used it down to 33 degrees and I was toasty warm. It is rated to 25 - and I have no doubt it would still be toasty warm at that temp. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1413770495.626350.jpg
    Here it is on my 11' Dutch Argon hammock.

    i've been hearing this and i'm sure it IS worth every penny of full price, but you can't blame a girl for trying to wait to save a few bucks haha. i was going to do a DIY UQ but i would end up buying a new bag to convert and ultimately, not saving any money because i would also need a new sewing machine haha.

    thank you all for helping out with this. this is my first UQ purchase so i'm extra excited!

    I totally understand I felt the same way, that's why I jumped on it when it went on sale. The PLUQ I had was "good enough" so I was waiting for a deal. Knowing what I know now - I would have bought the Jarbidge a long time ago
    You'll be VERY happy with your purchase!

    On a side note - after posting in this thread I started wondering if I would be better off going with a triangle thingy at the head end since I'm now using a different (and much longer) hammock... I set it up in the basement last night around midnight to test it out. At 2:30am my wife came down to ask why I wasn't in bed. Apparently it worked fine because I don't remember falling asleep!

    I just had mine down to 35 degrees and it was windy too. The wind was N/NW at a good 20mph and gusting to 35mph all night. The tarp was low and close and did well but I do not have doors so the wind in the forest kept swirling around and would blow in and the Jarbidge still worked great. I was nice and toasty.

    I have had mine down to 27 degrees, and that was before he started making them with APEX, which I understand will buy you another 5-10 degrees.

    How about right now? Haha. It's currently 47 and dropping steadily. I'm just hanging in the backyard tonight but I can tell you now, I'm toasty. When I first started getting into hanging in a camping manner, I thought people were crazy to think a "sleeping bag underneath the hammock" makes that big of a diff. Upon more research, I understood why they used them but I didn't understand why they spent so much money on them. Now here i am, using one of the better talked about UQs (and cheaper) and I'm snug as a bug.
