Would you consider a cold weather UQ?
Tell me more
First, if you're a gram weenie, this is NOT the UQ for you--It's a monster!
Full-length, DIY. I'm thinking it is around 78" x 52" but will have to confirm
550 FP down
4" of loft
I plugged all the numbers into one of the UQ calculators and it came back saying it should be good down to -15.
In a compression sack it is about the size of a basketball.
I don't know how much it weighs.

What material is is made out of?
How well maintained has it been?
Any chance of getting a weight? Stick it in a box, and get a "shipping quote" from the Post Office? Just make sure you ask them to give you the weight.
What are you looking to trade for? The hammock as it is? With a Net or overcover? etc
Very interested in the UQ.. But also still interested in Grizzly's offer (waiting on a sheath from him from the PIF to put one of his nice sheaths to the test, should have it by weeks end.)
Material is 1.9 RS nylon.
It has never been used. It was my first DIY at a quilt with baffles as well as using down and I just went a bit crazy with the down when it came time to fill it.
I'll never use it here in FL. But, upstate NY...???
I'll try to get the weight of it later this evening...
As for the hammock, I'd prefer it with the same marpat for it if you have some left over.
The hammock in the pictures is the one I'm offering for trade currently unfinished. (no netting)
Are you looking to trade the UQ for the hammock as it is right now? Exactly as the hammock is shown in the pics?
Would prefer it finished with an overcover that would mate to the currently installed zipper, if possible.
Update on UQ specs: 70" x 44", 64 ozs. You could easily shave about 6 ozs from it by getting rid of the grosgrain and replacing the 1/4" shock cord with 1/8". Compression sack is 5.5 ozs.
Whew.. a 4lb UQ? Not sure 1/8" shock cord would hold that.
Thats a lot to think on..
