    Lightbulb Snugpak jungle blanket UQ

    Here's my Snugpak jungle blanket UQ. It's roughly a 7/8 to 3/4 length depending on height, but for me it covers from my shoulders to my feet. Its made in the same fashion as a PLUQ, but has primary and secondary suspensions. The Snugpak jungle blanket is slightly smaller than a poncho liner, but uses their thicker,warmer Travelsoft™ insulation , Paratex™inner lining so its antibacterial/antimicrobial and their Micro Diamond weave outer which is tough yet soft and dwr treated +wind resistant as well. The JB's insulation is thinner than a Snugpak TQ/UQ, and around the same as their Insulated Poncho Liner. I've pushed my JB UQ into the low 50's- upper 40's and been warm. I use this and my regular Snugpak jungle blanket together as a set quite a bit in the warmer months since they offer great insulation & wind/water/funk resistance. I'm a big fan of Snugpak gear and this is my first ever UQ since their regular UQ was hard to find back when I was first getting into hammocks last spring. Its held up great and gets used quite a bit. Let me know if you have any questions about it. It was an easy project that anyone can do regardless of sewing skilll

    That looks good! Great that you added the secondary suspension too.

    Thanks. The secondary has been a huge help. When I made it last summer I just had a primary and it just kinda hung there w/o any adjustability. Now I can bias the head & foot corners just like my Incubator and Snugpak UQ since I've changed its suspension too. Now I think I'm gonna turn my other Jungle Blanket into a TQ using KAM snaps so I can still use it as a blanket.
