Made an underquilt protector using Ripstop By the Roll 0.9 oz Membrane 15 Poly Taffeta. Finished length was 11'4" for use with my 11'10" hammock. The side channel Knotty mod was made by sewing a folded 6" strip of 1/2" grosgrain into the side channel seam on each end of the Knotty mod. I tested my finished underquilt protector for about 2 hours at 21 degrees with winds up to 12 mph. Never felt any hint of a breeze under my hammock. Really like the Membrane 15 Poly Taffeta, very light weight. I'm glad I made it longer than the standard 9' underquilt protector. Feels like I have really good wind protection.
