Space blanket between hammock and quilt, CCF pad inside the hammock, preferably in an SPE ( if you have not already bought one you'll have to make one) or between the layers of a double layer hammock. I think that Speer/Younblood SPE was greratly under rated. For just 4 oz you really can make a pad usable even in a single layer hammock, and you can stack pads enough for deep winter use.
But without either SPE or dbl layer, if you can stay on the pad you should be as warm as needed.
The IX that has been mentioned should be a big help. If they are still available, even a single layer UQ ( at ~ 4 oz) should help. I did 2 different unscientific freezer tests of IX. For some reason, I didn't get much improvement when I used 2 layers, maybe I was scre*ing up the test some how? But on 2 dif tries, after 1 or 2 hours in the freezer( can't remember the exact time, it was just enough to form a little ice in the water bottle) there was 16*F temp dif between the water bottle "A" and water bottle "B" which was loosely covered with one layer of IX. I think that is a good bit of help from what would be ~ 4 oz full length UQ including suspension.
scLittlefield, interesting that you feel the IX works much better outside the UQ. Kind of goes along with a debate in another thread on the SS about whether the SB should be used on top of the HH ocf pad or under it. Have you noticed any condensation? I find the IX to be somewhat windproof. That would, among other reasons, account for it working better on the outside, assuming no condensation and if you could hang it loosely enough so as not to compress loft.
I hung one under my SS pad yesterday---- WhooBuddy that felt warm!
