    Thumbs up jarbidge sale and hanging question

    so i've been looking at getting an under quilt for some time now and i have finally settled on the AHE/KAQ Jarbidge. now, to hang out until the next sale. *crosses fingers that it will be soon* can't wait! if any of you notice a sale come up, please let me know to be sure that i don't miss it again. also, do you hook it right onto the suspension or do you hang it from somewhere else?? can you provide pictures of where it's hooked on to your setup? thanks a ton!

    As shipped it comes with two small carabiners on shock cord loops (one on each side) which hook right on to your suspension just beyond the gathered ends of your hammock. It then hangs directly under your hammock like another small hammock. Shock cord and cord locks let you snug it up from there. Third party hardware (i.e. Dutch) can also help you rig it a bit closer/better.

    Thank you. I wasn't sure where it was suspended from but that dedefinitely answered it. I have some hardware already that will work. Now I just have to decide on the color I suppose. Thank you so much for replying.

    Do you have one? What is your experience and overall rating?

    I purchased a green/black one as part of their recent Anniversary Sale. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it seems very well made. The suspension is very simple and comes with everything you need. Just clip the shock cord to your hammock suspension, slide it to where you want it, then adjust the pulls on either end to open or snug the ends to fit your body. Arrowhead also sells 'triangle thingies' you can add to the suspension that help lift the ends higher (change the hang angle) if desired.

    It looks like a really well made product, but my experience with it has been very limited so far. It is quite new. I've only slept out in it a few times on my balcony. The weather here in S Cal has been warm. Never got below low 60s or high 50s where I have hung so far. I expect to get some colder weather experience with it in about two weeks. That'll be the true test.

    I purchased a Jarbridge after the last sale. I have used it once in White Mountains in NH and it worked very well.

    do you by any chance know the low temp that you reached? i know they are rated to 30 but usually thats the higher end of things. i am also not so worried about it in particular because i sleep VERY warm. the lowest i've hung in was around 50 and all i used was a 40 degree summer down mummy bag and i was sweating. however, i really want to start hanging in the winter months as well so i'm hoping to avoid any CBS problems BEFORE they become a problem.

    The numbers on quilts is just a idea of what they might allow. We humans have too many variables, to give a definite answer to what will work at what temperature in a particular setting. Ia am cold at 50 F in Oregon, at home in Northern B.C. 50 F feels like a warm spring day, humidity is the difference.

    For me, having my backside with lots of insulation is the key to being comfortable. Topside requires a lot less warm stuff. Also I have found clean long johns work the best for me in cold weather sleeping.

    i usually wear shorts and an under armour coldgear shirt and i'm fine with just a sleeping bag, however, i'd like to try winter hanging and i don't want to end up cold and then not have what i need. so i'm definitely going to buy.
