Help with Underquilt fabric

[MAB Chicago]

Building my first UQ. What is the best material to use for the Inner / outer shell and
baffles?

I'm new to hammock camping and HF.
Thanks for the help!

I used Argon from Dutch and it's great. The DWR on my DIY UL UQ worked fantastic in a violent T-storm late last summer.

On another I used an M90 kit from Thru-Hiker for a full length "winter" UQ. Since it goes under a much larger tarp the DWR was not a factor in my decision. The color was! I order Ski Patrol Red and it makes a very nice UQ hauled by a pulk or car camping.

I am now using Argon. The weight is about 0.67 oz/sy. Very pleased with it.

Thanks MDSH & MAD777! I really appreciate the help. Did you use Argon for the baffles or something else like No-see-um?

I used .67 oz. Argon from Dutch and No See um for the baffles on both my TQ and UQ also a My Luxe down pillow that yeilded 25 oz. of 800 fill power Down

I hear Argon is great, really light. I currently use an underquilt I made from 1.1 dwr ripstop. It works great for me, but I would've probably used Argon if I had of had it available!

Just made a quilt with Argon 67, great stuff. RipstopbytheRoll has a new 10d fabric oh sale this week that should be worth a try.
