Maybe it's because I have never had an UQ, but I have had no issues with my SS and really like it. I did try to get inside my 0* bag rather than using it as a TQ and had a little condensation. I used it as a TQ the next few times and never had an issue. I really like the SS. As far as getting the pad back into the stuff sack, it's all in how you roll it. You gotta roll tight and slow. Slow lets it compress more. Once I roll it up, I hold it w/ one hand and slide the sack on with the other. It's easier than stuffing my 0* sleeping bag. When I can get a good quilt at a good price, I'll buy one. Until then, I have my SS. Oh, and the SS overcover is only for DRY cold environments. Unless you really like condensation. LOL.
