Got mine yesterday, Paul. Very nice! (Paul was nice enough to hold mine while I was out of town for a week.) But it is in the 90s+ right now. It has been a really cool summer, but it warmed up nicely for the arrival of my quilt. It appears to cover at least 1/3 more area than my Yeti, probably even more, for those who want more coverage and are willing to carry the weight.
BTW, am I correct to assume that this is NOT a differentially cut UQ? So I need to take some extra caution about not adjusting it too tight?

BB58, it is not a differential cut in the true sense but the way the layers get stacked and turned it is what I would call a semi differential. And to keep from Wrinkling the insulation and slow the quilt to cup properly you really don't need to pull it tight. Snug is the best for setting up a KAQ. I plan to get a short set up tutorial video shot at next weeks Idaho Hang.

I received my Jarbridge's on Thursday.
I got one green/blk and a coyote/blk both with the apex upgrade. As always the quality of work that went into making them is excellent.
Thank you for such a great sale on a excellent product.
Looking forward to that tutorial, i cant seem to get it right. i figured it would be similar to my te-wa quilts but i think im doing something wrong!

Received my package yesterday, have to say this is a mighty fine first UQ!
I had hoped to try one of the Jarbridges out that I got a couple weeks back. Unfortunately it's been too darn warm but looking at them, I'm impressed, quite nice and a bargain to boot.
That's why you turn the AC way down and hang inside.
Got my package on Thursday. Two upgraded jarbidges and some small accessories.
Wierd that norwegian customs and domestic shipping takes longer than the shipping from USA to Norway, makes for a long wait.
It's late autumn and poring rain here, but I hope to test them before winter arrives. Last year the cross country skiing started in Oktober and lasted to April.
Thanks to AHE for excellent service and thanks for being drawn for the free upgrade on one UQ.

If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife will sell my gear for what I told her I paid for it.
I am learning from my mistakes, so I can make better and bigger mistakes.
I got two Jarbridge UQ's. I set one up with my traveler & all was good after I got situated. I'm a wide guy & my shoulders were not getting the coverage I needed at first. I loosened the shock cords a bit and that helped a lot. I still may put a windshield sun shade across where my shoulders are for a little extra width.
I loaned my BB and the second Jarbridge to a buddy this weekend. He is involved with some scout training and wanted to show it off a bit. He had a little difficulty too but after texting back and forth, he left it loose so we'll see how tonight goes for him. I know after I got the one on the traveler adjusted right it was real nice and warm at 48.
I think I will rig up some triangle thingies as it seems like I need a little more length on the suspension shock cords and that should give me a few more inches and keep it more where I need it.
Nice UQ's though, certainly no complaints here. I'm really pleased.
