I will be another to sing the Praises of Hammockgear. For months I have been using a down UQ and ir was just not right for my size when I laid on the diagonal, whether it be my BB or DIY GEH. It is not the fault of the manufacturer by know means that is why they shall remain nameless and blameless. The quilt was just to narrow for me to use, I either had a cold shoulder or knee which was driving me nuts. I searched all of the sites over many hours and days and settled on a 20* Incubator. I contacted Adam on the phone, great guy to talk to by the way, and we discussed my body size to quilt size ratio!!!!!! After several minutes of checking notes and comparing figures it was determined that I would need a quilt that is 4" wider than the stock Incubator. With that Adam said: "give me some time to work the numbers and I will get back to you with a price for the mods." Well after nervously waiting two days I get a phone call as I am leaving work. Adam informs me of the price and that it is a doable mod-option to the quilt. Send me a bill was all I could say and withing 3 hrs I had an e-invoice. Next morning, Oct. 5, I promptly sent my payment and anxiously awaited news of the shipping of my UQ. On monday Oct 18 I sent an e-mail to Adam asking for a estimate on the shipping date as we have the Heart of Dixie hang planned this weekend and temps are supposed to drop into the mid 30's. This did not get answered, so Wednesday I send another e-mail and continue to wait. Yesterday, as I am laying on the couch recovering from a light case of food poisioning the mailman arrives. Mandy goes outside to get the mail and comes in with a broadface grin holding this small box. I have to admit my heart skipped a beat and I forgot all about my torn up insides!!!!!!! You can guess my desperation as I see a look of dread cross Mandy's face when she finds a hole in the shipping box!!!!!! With shaky hands I carefully open the hole and look inside expecting to find down feathers.........but there is no damage at all to the UQ. I grab the hammock out of the already packed for the weekend pack and head to the yard for a brief testing session. Well not so brief, I woke up from a 2 hr nap in wonderful warmth. It turns out that this quilt is everything that folks let on about, great construction and absolutely warm as can be. I see now why I got no responses to my shipping date questions, it was already on the way to me.
Adam, thank you for a wonderful product and taking the time to discuss options for a big fellas UQ. I will gladly sing your praises and will let you know how the quilt works out after this weekend testing session.
