    RBTR full length underquilt

    Santa brought me a RBTR underquilt kit for Christmas, and after practicing on various fabrics, and making a mesh ridgeline storage doodad, I cut the materials, and practiced some more with the remnants, and finally got it done.
    I made it according to their instructions, I was going to do a clews suspension, but chickened out.
    I put it up on the hammock stand this morning, and got it adjusted as best I could in 20mph winds, and laid down in for an hour.
    No top cover, and with the breeze at 35*f, the 5.5oz climashield kept my legs, butt and shoulders warm.
    If the temps weren't going down to low single digits I would give it a go tonight.
    I am happy with how it turned out, and will post some pictures once the wind slows down some.
    Already planning another, and I will be studying how @jellyfish attaches the clews to her underquilt.
    Anyone on the fence about making one of these, you should give it a shot. It is not really difficult, the toughest part is getting started.

    Dark olive outer, and black inner. Real original, eh? I used the 1.0 hyper D and it is very light and has a nice feel.

    That's awesome. There's no greater feeling than making your own gear and being able to use doing something enjoy.

    It is a trap though. "I can make the next one better", and the next......

    Good job! that looks very nice. I have great respect for the DIYers because I don't have the attention span to finish a project.
