WBRR Under-quilt options

[gunner76]

If you can sew you can make one for your RR.

I just picked up a Ridge Creek from AHE, have not used it yet but it might be an option, particularly since it is so aggressively priced

I was just going to say that.... another fine choice. Pretty much any gathered end UQ will work and I'll use "Will Work" loosely. The issue is the deep cat cut sides on the WBRR and the narrower widths of the WBRR. Your typical UQ suspension will want to run directly from the widest point at the head to the widest point at the foot of the hammock. This will cause some possible gapping along the sides as the UQ will typically be pulled higher and wider than the hammock body on both sides. You can get it to fit but getting these gaps closed up will be a challenge.

RR specific quilts are cut to fit the hammock and minimize/eliminate this gapping. There are still some instances where the gapping can occur such as when side sleeping and your knee places pressure on the structural side of the hammock causing a "High Point" if you will. Overall it is much less likely to happen and they will be much smaller if they do happen.

The other advantage if you are a die hard RR lover is the typical dedicated UQ is lighter than a similar temp rated traditional UQ helping to offset some of the pole weight with the RR.

+1 on Arrowhead. Most excellent synthetic quilt and best bang for the Bucks and yu can get a 4 season if u have any questions Paul will answer them for u. Check out their website. UGO makes a great down quilt also and u have a lot of options there also.

I am leaning hard toward the Lynx, but that Arrowhead is looking really nice with that price!

I use a AHE 50 on my WBRR bridge every nite and toast. I have uses the full length 20 Lynx from WB and toast and also the TE-WA Breeze 3/4 and its great also. All these fit the bridge perfect as you hook them on and good to go with little to no adjustments. I am now anxiously waiting on a 0 Ambush from Paul at UGO and know it will fit perfect and do its thing, easy attach and hang with no fiddle factor and toasty warm. I also have 2 jarbidges and 2 other full length UQs from UGO I can make work also. It's all in what floats your boat and what you make work for you. Lots of choices. Good luck.

I will have to admit that I am truly spoiled. My first hammock is the WBRR.
Purchased at the same time, a 0 degree full length Lynx under quilt.
Fits perfect, and so far I have yet to experience the sensation of CBS.
Not even so much as a draft.
So far it has worked as advertised.
Figured that if the designer of the hammock, also designed the UQ, for that particular hammock, then I should be able expect to have a reasonable level of performance.
So, what is all this complaining and fidgeting about, concerning drafts and CBS?
Yep, spoiled.

I am sure that other designers of under quilts also build similar performing products for the RR, but I can only attest to the Lynx.
