I did a test of my new underquilt the other night and hanging it on the TX-250 is a little awkward due to interference with the clark pole straps. I hung the underquilt suspension over the pole straps which seemed to work but it didn't allow me to tighten the suspension much. The quilt was gapping open at the midpoint in the length direction and when the wind blew it caught the gapped open edge and it was like someone opened a freezer on my backside. Otherwise, when the wind wasn't blowing I was pretty comfortable. The outside temp was about 5 degrees above the Jarbidge's (with apex insulation) temp rating. I am thinking of adding some omnitape along the sides of the Jarbidge to attach it to the TX-250. Does anyone have any simpler ideas? I've seen the video Arrowhead has which emphasizes not over tightening the ends and I definitely didn't do that.
