Therm-a-rest Tech Blanket Underquilt

[dirkomatic]

I turned a Small Blue Thermarest Tech Blanket into an underquilt - 60" x 40" My son has used this a few times. I made some very small holes which I heated to prevent fraying and ran shock cord through the short ends to cinch it. I tied some shock cord through the snap loops on the long side to suspend it. It works well, but takes some adjustment time to get to lay right. It has a zippered pocket which lets you turn it in on itself and pack it. Remove the shock cord and it's still a small Tech Blanket with four small holes in the corners.

$30 shipped.

I don't remember. I can weigh it when I get home. A little over one pound. Probably 1 lb 6 oz.

I can't tell from the pic...is it insulated? Is it ...warm? I am new to hanging, and do not own a UQ. Would this be a good starter for me?

It looks to be a commercial version of the poncho liner, which means that it would likely be good for late spring -> summer -> early fall.

It is insulated with polyester fill. It's the small (60 x 40) Tech Blanket. I use the large one for my top quilt. This could be used late spring through early fall.
