    Hammock specific UQ?

    I’ll start by saying, “I sleep on a pad in a Clark TX-250.” It works just fine except for the sweaty back thing. That problem has lead me to obsessively research quilts. I have a question that I haven’t been able to find answer to in the forum.
    So, UQ seem pretty universal, but some are matched to hammocks like Clark’s z-liner. Are there any features, or types of UQ that just WON'T work, ONLY work for certain hammocks?

    There are a few quilts out there that are made for specific hammocks. We make one, as does warbonnet for their RidgeRunner hammock that will not work well with other hammocks. Warbonnet also makes one specific to their gathered end hammocks...will work on most other gathered ends but probably not so much with a Clark. Take the time to carefully read the descriptions on any quilts your interested in and if any doubt then contact the vendor to see if they have a recommendation of what they make that would fit your clark.

    I have UQs from Jacks and HG. I can't see how they wouldn't work on any gathered end hammocks. The HH bottom entry may need something like the Nest with a slit that matches with the bottom entry.

    My wife has used my 3/4 UQ from HG on her bridge hammock just fine.

    They are very versatile.

    But I have no experience with Clark.

    If you are trying to find a UQ for your clark I would contact the UQ vendor before buying. Those hoops and the shallow bottom can make UQ fitting very tough.

    Thanks y'all. That answers my question. I will be looking for an UQ for the Clark, and I think a Dream Hammock is in my future as well.
