I struggled to keep my full length Hotfoot underquilt in place with the traditional shock to sbiner connected to each end approach. I saw a Dutchware Chameleon with pack hooks at roughly 24 and 48" from the gathered end. I tried it on my DIY hammock and it made a huge improvement in keeping the quilt in place. So now for my dumb question. Why not simply connect an underquilt to these points and skip the traditional suspension? Is there a downside I'm not seeing or a challenge to overcome? I am planning on making a 20 degree down underquilt and will probably design it with the traditional suspension in mind, but would love to go with something simpler and lighter. Your thoughts are very much appreciated.
