Has anyone tried using a Frog Toggs poncho as an underquilt protector?

I think this link will work for the Dry Ducks poncho with UQP modification. Dry Ducks is Frogg Toggs.

That works! They are the same company, but the Frogg Toggs is 3 layer vs 2 and a bit heavier/more durable, right?

I tried to look up the differences between the ponchos but couldn't find the frog tog poncho right away then I had to back to work.

I think driducks is what they used to call the lighter weight version. At the Walmart they have the light weight one for $5 and the heavier one for $11.

I have made one and didn’t get condensation like with the first uqp I made from silnylon. I think the multiple layers and perforated look is for some breathability. There is a rolled hem at each end (one end has the ends of the rolled hem trapped inside the side hems.) I tied a cord to a mitten hook, threaded the cord through end rolled hem, then through the other mitten hook and then through a cord lock. On the other end I did the same but had to poke holes to get into the rolled hem. It is that easy. To use, clip the mitten hooks onto a marlin spike loop made by twisting the uq suspension. I think it works well to block wind from stealing heat from the uq.

I also add some kamsnaps so it doesn’t blow all over the place when worn as a poncho.
