    Are there good multipurpose underquilt?

    Are there certain under quilts out there that perform double duty, i.e. as a top quilt for tent camping, as a poncho thing, etc., better than other brands. I noticed the jacks are better specifically shows multiuse examples for theirs, what other quilts do the transformer thing, without mods, really well?

    My wife doesn't realize how cool hammock camping is yet, and I need some supporting arguments to fork out the dough for an under quilt. Using as a top quilt for tent camping is one example - thanks!

    I use a JRB Old Rag for a TQ, UQ, on the ground with a SynMat 9, and even in the family camper. Also took it along on a trip to a remote cabin. It worked well for all of those uses.

    JRB Sniveler selection. This sounds exactly like what you are looking for. Try the Sierra Sniveler for the general 3 season use.

    I think the EE Prodigy can be used as an underquilt as well. And since the EE Prospect and the EE Revolt both are rectangular, you could use them as camping blankets.

    Other quilt makers might build you something if you asked.
