    Honestly, all of the cottage vendors make great equipment. I'm fond of my Loco Libre TQ. In your case, I would see who will give you the best deal as far as shipping.

    I see you are from UK. Why not to try Cumulus
    http://sleepingbags-cumulus.eu/uk/ca...s/hammock-gear

    I have almost every product from them for various conditions and all my family. I like the pertex fabrics much more than argon. Nicer to touch. And right, you dont pay taxes and customs.

    Everyone will tell you about a different ones and their favorites.
    Research all. Look at weight, length, baffle style, suspension, rating, insulation used, shipping time, fabric, color choices and then make the call. Ultimately, you have to make the decision on what suits you.
    Talk to the feller who makes them. Ask them questions. They all love to tout their swag.
    Carry forth.

    Agree with Shug (how could I not?!) One thing to consider: compressibility. That will at least point you towards the type of insulation to use.

    I'll add Enlightened Equipment to the mix. Love 'em. Lots of good choices out there.

    I have both Hammock Gear quilts and Enlightened Equipment. I can't exclude any others mentioned; but, I am very happy with both of these manufacturers.

    If I were ordering at this time, it would be Loco Libre or UGQ. My $. 02
