As long-time MAHHA attendees and supporters, Jacks R Better has become an integral part of our hammocking community. Their unwavering dedication to MAHHA events, coupled with their commitment to producing top-quality outdoor gear, makes them a cherished presence within our community. Today, we proudly introduce Jacks R Better, a company that not only understands the needs of hammock enthusiasts but actively contributes to our gatherings, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and outdoor passion that defines MAHHA!

Jacks R Better is donating an ultralight Shanendoah and a Hudson River quilt. Each quilt is built for versatility and can be used either as a topquit or underquilt.

Shenandoah 40° Quilt (blue and black):

Temperature Rating: Designed for temperatures down to 40°F (4°C).

Fill Power: Packed with high-quality 1000 Fill Power down insulation for an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

Over-stuff: This quilt is optimized with a 25% over-stuff, reducing downshifting and maintaining its temperature rating even if the down loses loft between cleanings or due to dampness.

Long-Term Storage: The included zippered storage bag doesn't compress the quilt, allowing for airflow, which is perfect for long-term storage to maintain its loft.

Packing: For backpacking, it's recommended to use a contractor bag to keep the quilt dry while allowing it to expand or compress to fill available space in your backpack.

Hammock Fit: The Shenandoah summer hammock quilt functions as an underquilt on all gathered-end and bridge hammocks, including popular brands like ENO, Hennessy, Warbonnet, Dutchware Chameleon, and others, offering versatility to hammock campers.

Hudson River 20° Quilt (olive and orage):

Temperature Rating: Designed for colder temperatures, down to 20°F (-6°C).

Fill Power: Equipped with 850 Fill Power down insulation for exceptional warmth.

Over-stuff: Like all Jacks 'R' Better quilts, it features a 25% over-stuff to ensure the quilt maintains its rating even in adverse conditions.

Long-Term Storage: The included zippered storage bag, designed not to compress the quilt, facilitates airflow and is ideal for extended quilt storage.

Packing: Similar to the Shenandoah, it's recommended to use a contractor bag for backpacking to keep the quilt dry and allow it to expand or compress as needed.

Versatile: The Hudson River 20° quilt is a reliable companion for late fall and early winter camping, ensuring you stay warm during cold-weather adventures.

Both quilts offer outstanding quality and performance, catering to a range of temperature conditions, making them versatile choices for outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort and warmth during their adventures.
