Cumulus Selva 600 underquilt arrived

[Pixabilly]

Got my new underquilt, Selva 600 down with hydrophopic treatment.
Size L so this is 230cm long. 110cm wide from top and feet side 95cm. Comfort -14°C and limit -22°C

Will write a review from this, publishing ot in february.

Storage bag is big one and the stuffsack dont have any compression straps. But it is tight package when i got it there so no need for compression.
Material feels good and this is very light.

I am happy owner of this one Tested in -18 last weekend. The pertrex endurance works perfectly, the loft is amazing too. I bought the paired taiga topquilt too.

Cool! I saw your photo in their instagram profile

How did you adjust the cords? This came with 10 meters of shock cord. Thought i install as the hammoch gear does.

Nice! I have the cumulus comforter which is awesome! If I ever need a winter quilt set, I'll definitely consider these.

Just for the information, if someone wish to have this with hydrophopic treatment, you need to email them. They will give you instructions how to pay then.
Wonder why they haven't made it as option when making the order... ?

i am using dutch ridgeline quilt hooks, so the quilt hugs the hammock better

there are cordlocks for the shockcords, very easy

i am quite big man, so the Taiga topquilt looks quite small for me... what kind measurements taiga has? top part total wideness? middle?

[infrastellar]

whatever the dimensions are, you can always have a custom made product from cumulus ...

I really am intrigued by this. Looks to be better made then UKHammocks quilts and so much fluff! I am though worried, that there's no draft collar. You guys haven't missed having those?

I have UQ's and TQ's from Cumulus (Selva 600, Taiga 480), UKH (TQ & UQ Winter kit with 100 gr overfill in both) and HammockGear (Incubator 20)

A short summary:

• The workmanship and Quality of Cumulus and HammockGear are equal. Both are way better than UKH.
• The Cumulus UQ (in size Large) are a lot larger than both UKH and HammockGear in standard size. I am 180 and the Cumulus UQ is in fact a little to big for me.
• The Cumulus TQ has a longer "shark fin" foot box and are a lot longer than a UKH TQ. Cumulus also have a lot more adjustment cords in the back. (UKH has none)
• Cumulus is shipped with storage bags, stuff sack and a lot of extra cords and cord locks. UKH is only shipped with a sack that is more or less is useless. HammockGear is also shipped with a nice storage bag and stuff sack.
• HammockGear supply s-biners for the suspension. UKH and Cumulus only ships with shock cord., Cumulus and HammockGear has cord locks. UKH has none.
• Cumulus and HammockGear has webbing loops on the side (for extra suspension). UKH has none.
• The fabric on Cumulus is fantastic, high breathability and water resistant. The fabric on e.g UKH is on the other side very prone to collect water/moisture.
• The chock cords (for the suspension) on Cumulus and HammockGear is good, firm but still elastic. The shock cord supplied with UKH..is not so good and probably one of the first thing you need to replace.

Can't really compare the down loft as the quilt has different sizes and amount of down. But.. the loft on Cumulus is great and stay that way mounted on the Hammock. For me it is a bit harder to fit the UKH quilt to the Hammock and it often has the tendency to compress the down or create air gaps. I had to sew on extra webbing loops and a secondary suspension om my UKH to make it work well below -5 (celsius).

The guys at Cumulus is very service minded and the delivery time was really good. Maybe a was lucky or first in line but I placed my order just before the Christmas holidays and the gear showed up at my door stepp around new year.

I have an old sleeping bag from Cumulus and the Pertex fabric is, in my mind, fantastic. (It was one of the reason I chose to go for Cumulus)
