Custom Undercover for my Winter UQ made by 2QZQ

**Wags** · 01-24-2011, 22:35

so the undercover is basically a 1/2 of a sock?

They really do add heat and cut wind. When I know the trip is going to be blustery and I have my small tarp I toss it in the pack. 6oz of good stuff. I made mine from dwr ripstop.

OutandBack -- I was waiting to see pics of this. OUTSTANDING!
Besides additional protection in winter - I'm thinking this could this possibly work in summer months for extra mosquito protection/slight warmth when a UQ is not needed? and still having the breathability..

I love it - where do I sign up?
possibly one in woodland camo?

oh and Shug - the cutting wind topic is the other thread :P

I know we currently can purchase Sil 2nds for less than ripstop, so the pricing will have to be adjusted some. Have to check with suppliers of ripstop for a good price at a larger quantity.

Give me a week or two to determine if we will begin to offer a ripstop UQ protector. I'll continue to watch this thread about it.

silnylon = condensation is the only thing that's stopped me from getting one.
i think the breathable nylon dwr provides enough splash protection to warrant the windblocking warmth boost.

i hope to see these become available. would go nicely with the 2qzq ridgeline organizer i scored at mt. rogers

I opened the package and hung it. I knew it was arriving today, lol
I don't have a scale sorry. It can't be much, 3-4 oz, folds up about the size of you fist.

Already like what I am hearing... I'd be interested in a 2QZQ ripstop UQ protector.

I have the 2QZQ doors & pole mod on my MacCat Deluxe tarp... outstanding craftswoman/manship!

From what I've been reading, perhaps 2QZQ would find a marker for a hammock sock as well (1.1 oz DWR in woodland sounds like one good option...

)

Slept in the hammock last night. Did not use the BBO top cover and had the netting completely unzipped and folded to the side.
Went out ~11PM frost was present on the ground and both sides of the tarp. None on the hammock. Checked hammock layers twice on 2 potty breaks all was dry. Woke up 9AM had coffee from the hammock and came inside.

Low for the evening was +15F winds were light all evening, by 9am all frost on the tarp had evaporated. All in all it was a perfect evening to hang. Had no cold spots was very comfortable.
