Underquilt for Florida?

[domromer]

Last year I camped in Florida during late spring. The daytime highs were in the mid 90s. The lows were in the high 60s and low 70s. I used eno double nest with a bug net and I was still chilly at night. So I'm looking for a light weight synthetic underquilt that will be good for the humidity of Florida. I was hoping you guys would have some ideas for me.

I'm also looking for something like a synthetic sheet to add a little warmth at night.

domromer,
So far I've had pretty good luck with my KAQ Lost River, from Arrowhead Equipment.

I'm a warm sleeper, so unless its getting below 50* I just use a ccf pad.

Recently purchased a Hammock-Gear 3 Season Phoenix, but it's for the cold nights with me.

the nest from jacks r better would be a nice lite option for an under quilt.

May I make a suggestion here?

Try an Adventure Medical 2P Heetsheet first. It won't cost anywhere close to what a quilt does. If it doesn't work out for you (odds are it will, especially at those temps) then go ahead and spend a whopping $279.00 (introductory price of course) just to knock the chill off in 60-70 degree temps.

Forgive me for saying so and this is just my outlook on it, but it just seems a bit ridiculous to spend that kind of money for those temps. I've hammocked in far colder temps than that with a simple 2P HeetSheet and a good down bag. I know it isn’t as cool looking and doesn’t roll of the tongue quit as smoothly, but at a cost of $5.00 to $15.00 verses $279.00 (introductory price of course), what do you have to lose?

May not be popular, but it sure seems smart.

I'd like something a little less disposable than a heat sheet.

I used mine for at least 2 years before replacing it (no damage at all, my friend uses it now)...I'd say that's pretty darn good friend!

Even if you bought one a year for 20 years, (at $15 each x 20 $300 for arguments sake) it’s a wiser choice, because even as good as the quality of those quilt’s are (so I’ve read), you’d be hard pressed to get that $300 quilt (non-introductory price) to last anywhere near that long.

No offense meant, just food for thought.

Hey GreenLizard, thanks for the suggestion. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I am going to couple this with my BA down bad and air core pad. Up until this post I was going to try a Thermarest Ridge Rest Solar Sleeping Pad. The Therma lite bivy should do the trick. Thanks again.

Make sure it's placed on the outside of the hammock (I have pics posted) as it's far more efficient that way and you\your bag won't slide all over the place.

Any of the AHE sythetic KAQ's will do. However, if you don't want to drop the cash on an UQ right now, I'd maybe go with a Gossamer Gear Night Light pad or Gossamer Gear Thinlight pad. I think either of these would be fine down to around 60 or so.
