“What is a hammock Underquilt, and how do you use one?”
Underquilts are designed to keep you warm when sleeping overnight in your hammock, particularly in colder weather.
Below are some universal tips that will help you create the warmest possible setup for your underquilt:
To prevent it from getting wet or dirty on the ground, lay the quilt inside the hammock to start; then attach the ends and remove enough slack so that it won’t touch the ground when you slide it out of and under the hammock.
Minimize the air space between the hammock (with you in it) and the top of the quilt. Snug up the adjustments to ensure the quilt is super close, but not so close that your body compresses it.
Snug each end tightly to prevent air from flowing through.
Secure any attachments along the sides to prevent airflow gaps from forming there.
