    Hammock Gear UQ on warbonnet xlc

    My old generic hammock is falling apart and I'm looking to update to a warbonnet blackbird xlc.

    Will my hammock gear economy incubator underquilt fit well on that hammock? Any issues I should be aware of?

    Thanks

    Should. Might need some adjustment depending on what hammock you were using it with. I have a WB Eldorado (same body as the XLC, minus the shelf on the bugnet) and it works fine.

    I use a hammock gear underquilt on my Blackbird xlc and haven't had any issues.

    I think you only have to worry if you are using a specialized quilt for a hammock it wasn’t designed for. An example would be using a Wookie (of the right size) on something other than a BlackBird or XLC. Or a UQ specifically designed for a Bridge Hammock (i.e. the Ridge Runner’s Lynx) on a GE hammock. Or an UQ made for a GE hammock on a bridge Hammock.

    I’m not saying those combinations won’t work. It’s just that it’s noto a “given” that they will.

    As your XLC is a gathered end hammock, I’d image any UQ, full or partial, designed for a GE hammock will work.

    Some may need assistance - extra support lines. But the double (triple) bungee adjustments at each end of the HG UQ’s have be all I’ve needed.

    But then again, I use a UQP to make up for any “less than optimum” setup because I’m often switching between quilts and hammocks.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    For sure it will fit the XLC just make sure to set it up correctly.

    Yup. Use mine on both the XLC and Chameleon.
