    Lightest summer underquilt

    I've seen a few posts on this, but they're getting pretty old. What's the lightest underquilt option for summer when lows never go below 50F? Is it the Loco Libre Operator? I don't sew, nor do I have a sewing machine, so not looking for DIY solutions.

    Probably a custom WB Yeti

    Ooh, interesting. How the heck do they make it that light with all that extra fabric? Supposedly a 50F Yeti with 950 down is 6.24oz (vs 8.4oz for the LLG Operator). I guess it is 4" shorter and 5" narrower. Thanks for pointing me to this one!

    Yeti, not Wooki…

    I second the Yeti. I have a custom 40deg, 950fp/10D fabric. Its crazy small.

    6.24 is the item weight. Add another 1.87 oz for the 950 FP down.

    I dont think thats right.

    My 40deg /950fp 10D weighs 7.6oz in a 1gallon ziplock- with cordage, everything. Its listed as 7.12 item weight, so adding a ziplock and cordage thats real close. If you read the spec sheet as you stated and combined the down fill with item weight, it would weigh 9.67oz.

    A 50deg yeti, 950fp and 10D fabric would/should- weigh less than 7oz ready to hang on your hammock.

    Ok, that's how I interpreted the spec sheet originally. Thanks for sharing your data.

    Yeah, looking at the spec sheet again, you're right. There's no way a 0 degree Wooki would weigh 39oz.

    However, there's definitely an error with the spec sheet. 850FP...for the 50 deg says 3.35 oz but 40 deg is 3.14 oz? Based on the weight differences between 850 and 950, it should be 2.15 oz.
