    UQ/TQ Storage.

    I picked a Jarbridge and Owyhee 1s TQ and UQ set during the last "boss is away sale" and was wodnering how they should be stored? Neither came with a cotton storage bag, which makes me wonder if they can just be stored in their stuff sacks?

    You can buy mesh laundry bags at most dollar stores. I hang mine uncompressed in mesh bags from the ceiling beams in my basement. The mesh bag allows for good ventilation, and the hanging up keeps them from being compressed.

    I prefer a large cotton bag like they sell at REI. Keeps them uncompressed, able to breath but still protects them from dust/critters/spiders and the like!

    I use old king size pillow cases. It is easy enough to run a draw string thru them and there green!

    Like Hawk-eye, I favor the REI storage bags.

    Safe, secure, cleam and my cats do not like to sleep on top of them.

    PS: Stuffed in their stuffsacks is NOT a good idea.

    +1 on the pillow cases, but i also alternate between that and hanging them from the ceiling in our storage room.

    Another pillow case user here (unless it came with its own cotton storage bag). Would, however, really like to set up a place to hang them for storage.
