UKhammocks do some good stuff and UK made. I'd had really good experiences with them until last year. Hopefully it was just a blip. There's a UK based fella on ebay (Scotty) who does good stuff too. Just looked at the web page not a bad price and standard fit is 6ft 2" so just about right for ...

Re: Quilts Recommendations please
Ok thanks for the comments, looks like Cummulus is the way to go, its not clear how i do a custom order on the website do i just us the contact form?
Also will be using this in high mountains and probably all year round so thinking i go straight for the 450, do they also do colour choice?
