So I'm thinking that if I can get bulk down from the supplier near me and I can convince myself that I can sew without killing people I'm considering using a two layered approach for a cocoon style under quilt.
Assume I don't really understand what I'm talking about yet (because I don't):
If a nice Winter UQ is X warmth (fill, thickness, etc) then I'll make TWO that are HALF X. One I can use during the non-Winter months and the second I can add to that for the colder hangs. That lowers the size and weight for Summer.
The first layer would be sort of traditional but the second layer would have to be such that I could easily slide it over the second layer when I get into the hammock and during the night if I get warm. Adjusting the openings on both to control the internal temperature is also important.
This might be as easy as having a sturdy zipper on each with a velcro flap to minimize warmth leakage.
I'm still thinking.
