Underquilt Indecision......

**Lonely Raven** · 07-22-2011, 23:11

I sleep in a WBBB. I'm a side sleeper, and I toss and turn a lot.

I had the Warbonnet UQ, and I liked it, but I toss so much that I kept bumping it off to the side.

I ordered a Winter Incubator, and it's solved all my problems.

Granted, a Winter Mamba and Winter Incubator, while awesome gear, take up a lot of space, and empty out your wallet. LOL

Totally makes sense! (How could I ever doubt him!!)

Place the thermarest seat that you have, barely inflated inside the foot area of your bag instead of outside of the bag. Try that and see how it works for you.

You know I don't have a full length UQ but you are more than welcome to borrow my 3 season Yeti. That should give you a good idea whether you really need a full length or not. That is unless you've already tried a small UQ but still can't decide which one to get. Anyway, PM me if you want to try it.

I too move around a whole bunch and it kept doing that to me also. However, I solved the problem by using a #1 s-biner. After hanging the head and foot end of the Yeti on the BB as usual I then clip the left side of the headend shockcord to the line on the BB pull-out. Now it stays put no matter how much I shift around.

I have a WBBB, and am very happy with a 3S full length incubator, my feet tend to get cold, so full length works best for me.

I have a Mt Washington 3 from JRB. Awesome piece of kit.

i'm a full length synthetic UQ user. i have had no gap issues with my WL UQ. it hugs the foot box perfectly.
i posted a thread a while back with some pix.
i have not had the opportunity to use it in cold weather yet, but i have full confidence it will perform very well.
WL also makes goose down UQs as well. check'em out.

I have easily gone down into the 20 with my 3 season set's and single digits with my winter set all from Hammock Gear. All the vendors make great products here on HF but Hammock Gear is my go to for quilts. Just my 2 cents.

edit: oohh and I forgot to add if the yeti is to short for you liking and the full is to long check out the Phoenix 3/4. Its longer then the yeti but not as long as a full. The Phoenix is my go to quilt in all seasons. I prefer it over a full length cause I carry an emergency sleep pad any ways, which I also use as a sit pad.

Photos are great, very helpful to see exactly how it fits your Warbonnet. Thanks so much for the response

I use a 3-season Phoenix and I really like it. There are few times with being vertically challenged is good, but this is one of them. My Phoenix is darn near full length. With temps 60 and up, I don't use anything under my feet; below that, I use either a 1/4 Thinlight pad or a 3/8 inch Thin light pad, depending on the expected temps, and whether I might need a ground set up or not (3/8 inch is what I use then, not a lot of comfort, but good insultation

I forgot, it fits my Blackbird very well and wraps up around me nicely.

Just placed my order for the 3 season full length incubator!! I appreciate all of the comments and suggestions. (I am constantly amazed at this resource for something that a year ago I would never even have thought of!) It finally came down to if I can only have one underquilt this one met most of my needs.

I am so excited to have the final piece to my hammock nest. Now like the rest of you if we could get a break from the beastly heat. (Although it is cooler hanging than laying on the ground...)
