I know the Wooki is made for the XLC (which I plan to buy when they go on sale) but do other UQ provide similar comfort? I'm concerned about the bungee system that most UQs use that goes across the hammock being restrictive.

there is the trail winder by simply light designs but it's synthetic instead of down: https://www.simplylightdesigns.com/c...winder-asym-uq

Thanks! I'll mark this day as the day I learned so many new vendors! I am not a gram counter and I always side with a few extra ounces for usability/comfort as most of my backpacking trips are measured in single digit lengths. I still don't know my lay direction (I still flop all over in my bed at home too) so I like the non-asym concept.
SLD 20* (6oz climashield) non-asym = 27.5 oz, $176.90 incl stuff sac
WB Wooki 20* (850 fill down) asym = ~17 oz, $250 incl stuff sac
SLD seems like a solid entry into figuring out an UQ setup.

I think ya might have the prices flip flopped here. Anyways, I can attest to the versatility of the trail winder UQ. I have an asym 40* and a 20* symmetrical from Jared. Both work great. No fidgeting. I have other UQs that haven’t seen the woods in quite some time. Just doesn’t seem worth the trouble.

If you are looking for lighter weight (going by your intro post) get a partial UQ.

oops. fixed the prices error.
I'm less about lightest weight and more about simple and multi purpose gear. I still can't quite wrap my brain around the 3/4 concept. I remember when I considered using a 3/4 sleeping pad in my tents and then using my pack as the extra 1/4. Too much hassle.
Noob question. What makes a 3/4 easier to adjust, er, not have to adjust?
