Hammock ULers have flirted with 1/2-3/4 length under quilts and used sit pads or packs under the legs and feet. Certainly a viable concept.

JRB has just posted a limited time offer on a unique Torso Length Wearable UQ... A 2/3 length compared to standard JRB quilts, At 12.8 oz it gets the job done at about 25 % less weight. packs to 10 inch long roll of 4 inches in diameter... 3/4 inch baffle height and average loft of 1.5 inches.... all black color.

Perhaps the real beauty is that it converts to a full parka length vest with two way separating front zip...Add the JRB Hood, 2 oz, and JRB Sleeves, 5 oz, and you have a full down parka for under 20 oz.

This is a limited availability item. At this time it is not planned for JRB 2009 line.... Details are available here...http://www.jacksrbetter.com/Torso%20Length%20Wearable%20Under%20Quilt.htm

And if you buy the hood and sleeves, it looks like this

thanks for listening, Jack. There are a number of people already using this size and as you have been open to suggestion it seems to me that it will be a popular item. pro'lly wont see much use until late spring?
with a 1.5" loft am i right at a temp rating of about 45°?

as you know, my 2/3 UQ is right around 3" loft but Im sure I can add this one to my kit for spring/summer
thanks a bunch, its great when a shop owner listens to the needs of the customer!
(now, about that CUBEN...)

also, will this fit the BMBH?

congrats for thinking out of the box!

Sorry, but why isn't this in Gear Deals? It's clearly a commercial post.
