    Banyan bridge underquilt

    Hello, I have a banyan bridge hammock. In the UK it is virtually impossible to find a suitable underquilt. My only real option is to order from USA at a big cost.
    The closest fit I have found is the bushmen glow underquilt. It has the right dimensions and suitable loops for fitting to the hardware.
    I have thought about a pad, but just not the same.
    Has anyone had any experience with the bushmen glow.
    Shall I order it to try it?
    Will it be too tight?
    Thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sam

    Ask Dutchware customer service too; they may have suggestions. A lot of people simply use an underquilt meant for a gathered-end hammock.

    Also maybe consider the OneWind (which I assume is available in the UK): Warbonnet Ridge Runner with Onewind Top and Under Quilts - YouTube

    What are you using and can you post a photo of your set up? I use a GE for my day hike bridge (the RSBTR kit) and it works fine. I'd be comfortable at night if I knew I wouldn't be in extreme weather.

    I open the end cinch all the way up so the UQ is rectangle-shaped. Then, on each end, I put the suspension bungee across the spreader pole. Depending upon that fit, I might need to tie a knot in the suspension to shorten it so the UQ is pulled up to the body of the bridge.

    Also, an under-quilt protector (UQP) might be employed the same way so the UQ fit isn't so critical.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
