    Insultex just arrived...UQ here I come!

    Wow I have read it on these threads before but can I say how amazing it is to think someone used 3 layers of IX down to 30 degrees?? It is SO thin!? I am excited to use it in my UQ, now that I see how really thin it is I will use 3 layers and not worry about making a 2 layer UQ with the third layer optional.

    Also got some silnylon and will be making a 12'x 8' tarp....I feel a little bad that I didn't make my own silnylon but it is cheap enough getting the 2nd run stuff...very light and thin as well.

    I got everything from http://www.diygearsupply.com/cgi-bin/isle.cgi?type=all
    and it was here in less than a week. They did a great job!

    Very excited...what to do first, the tarp or UQ??

    Excellent ! I just ordered my IX stuff yesterday and can't wait ! I'm leaving on a 5 day trip after labor day and need to get my UQ ready.

    SO, I recommend you make your IX UQ first ...

    Have my IX and have yet to start. Thankfully, I'm more DIY in the winter months.
