Just bought an underquilt from UGQ! They have draft collars on them which help prevent wind from sneaking in!

what about double layered hammocks for pads? those are a lot easier to work with, right?

Went out on my first solo last night. Used the Z-Lite. Never again! Too many problems to list!

I became a hammock hiker this year, so i tried to use my inflating pad, self-inflating pad and a foam pad first. And i got that sweat/condensation trouble as well. Now i'm ordering the Subito underquilt from Aliexpress for 28$...

As long as you block the wind from passing under your hammock you can do without both. Tarp and a fire is all you need. Whiskey is cheaper than an underquilt. lol

what if you use a sleeping bag without anything else? or like these cocoon type sleeping bags that you can wrap around your hammock

I've never tried an underquilt except for a failed attempt with my old sleeping bag haha. But underquilt do seem better imo.

I use a thermal tarp, you can put it around the bottom of the hammock or lay it in the hammock. You would be surprised how warm a thermal tarp is.

what about the Klimat hammock pad

Do the foam pads lose their shape or tear if you use them in the hammock?

My big Agnes q core is amazing....4" thick, and sleeps amazing......it's as good as home

Have you ever tried a reflective emergency thermal blanket / gold foil under a sleeping bag instead of an underquilt in 45-50 deg. weather?

This underquilt looks very shitty and easy to make at home. Great inspiration for me :) Time to get to my sewing machine and upgrade my kit.

Those z lite pads are great for a million things.....sleeping ...kneeling to cut wood.....sitting by the fire....a mat to stand on changing your clothes....I never leave mine at home
