    There have been some outstanding recommendations so far.

    A Costco Down Throw works great for a summer UQ and is inexpensive. Here's a very easy no-sew hack to string one up quite easily.

    I used this method with good success in the Okefenokee earlier this year.

    Thanks for the info.
    I was also looking at a new summer UQ but should not wait the 8 weeks.
    I ordered today and WL is shipping next week.

    The Snugpak UQ is great for 3 season use, and since its synthetic it's perfect if you are gonna be out in a lot of wet or humid conditions. I use mine almost exclusively from June till the end of September since I live on the Chesapeake bay where its super humid all summer.

    Same here in western NY. I love it also cause the adjustments are in the middle instead of on the ends. So you can drop the sides when its hot, then 3 or 4am when it cools down just pullem tight and go back to sleep. Without having to get out of the hammock. At around $60, you cant beet it.

    Got my WL 3/4 summer series this week, this thing hugs my underside beautifully, no gaps. I actually tied a small of cord to the suspension so it would hang a little looser in the Carolina summer heat. In the fall when the temperature drops, I'll take my extension off and go back to original suspension for a snug fit.

    it's hard to beat the price of DIY'ing a CDT UQ to be honest. they're more than enough for summer nights, and it's a great into to DIYing some stuff for yourself

    The 40*f Wooki got me through part of spring into summer and up to the last weeks of autumn. This using a non warbonnet hammock..... l did initially add about a foot of cord too the existing loop located from head end of the Wooki.....

    The piece of foot long cord l made half a dozen or so over hand knots, placing each knot about an inch apart and attached this to the loop on the Wooki. This gave a optimal range of adjustments when snapping the carabiner too the suspension.... the many loops makes venting easy by backing the carabiner down a few loops.

    Having these half dozen adjustments l can also use the Wooki on my other hammocks.

    I'll add another for the 40* route. I find this is fine for me. If anything I just draft it a bit.
