First off, I have no sewing experience yet. I plan on starting to make gear this summer.
I was all set on the idea of ordering some Climashield and making an UQ with it, since I've heard it's easy to work with, but THEN, hammockgear.com had to offer 800+ Fill Power Down for $6.50 an ounce. That whole "cost efficient" aspect of using synthetic just went down the drain... (In a good way!)
My dilemma is I know down is nicer feeling, as well as lighter, but much more difficult to work with, whereas the Climashield should work for me, but come on... it's not down. Would a down quilt be WAY over my head? Time and patience I have. Skills, I do not. What you say, HammockForums.net community? Climashield or down?
(Quick UQ details: 3/4 length, would like to be able to get to freezing temps comfortably.)
