Just wanted to introduce our newest item, the Wooki...It is a full length underquilt that fits the BB, XLC and Travelers. It should be on the website soon, hopefully within the hour.
Here's the promo video:

That looks awesome. May have to order one this fall to test out.
Sweet. Now who's going to be the first to jump on this and give us a full review. I like it because it makes putting the under quilt on the Blackbird series of hammocks as easy as it is with the Ridgrunner series and this is something I really like about the Ridgerunner. It does make it harder to vent your under quilt though.

I really want to like/need this. I am sure its a bomber bit of kit just like everything else WB puts out. But I question how the lack of adjustments is a positive thing. Of course simple is usually better. Even though I have never had a problem adjusting my UQ to fit my XLC just right, I understand that some do.
My 10° UQ is very versatile in that I can loosen the ends and adjust the airflow/sag to my liking for any condition or temp (Even with the adjustments/suspension its 3oz lighter than the Wooki.) I use my 10° quilt even in the summer here in WA when low temps are around 50-60° with both ends loosed to allow for airflow to my liking. Rarely do I get hot. Because of this I only own 1 quilt set.
How would you accomplish this with the Wooki? Maybe I am missing something.
“The word hammockable (Meaning: two trees that are the perfect distance apart between which a hammock can be hung) is not in the dictionary, but it should be.”
How well does this fit other GE hammocks? I assume if they are similar to the traveler that the fit would be equal?Originally Posted by warbonnetguy
I would normally just vent topside insulation but i'm a cold sleeper, however I suppose you could lengthen the suspension at one end (probably where the Rubberband is) if you put something there to make it longer...like another carabiner or a couple inch long extender of some kind it would fit looser like you are describing and not insulate as well

They would generally have to be a nearly identical length, because the rubberband has very little travel, i'd say if the actual hammock length (finished length of the body, not the raw fabric length) was within an inch it would be ok, and I suppose you could always modify it to be slightly longer...not sure it would work if the hammock in question is very slightly shorter than the BB/XLC because you're not going to be able to shorten the rubberband portion (it's as short as I can make it as-is)

Yeah that makes sense. Wouldn't be too hard to rig an extension on the 'biner end to increase the sag a bit.
Ok...im sold
