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.

Learn to survive and thrive in any situation, for you never know what might happen. Love family and friends passionately. Suffer no fool. Know your purpose in life and follow it with all your heart.
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?
Thanks Sam. I'm on may way to building my first UQ.
Cheers,

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!
Two heads are good, three are great, but all heads at hammockforums is the best case scenario!
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.
