I am a bit confused about the underquilt method of insulation. I have a hhulbp and need something for the bottom side. The supershelter is my first thougt but I see that some use underquilts. Doesn't that take a large amount of space in your packs? I am already some what strapped for space now. I am section hiking the A.T and go for 10 day walks with no resupply. I need some extra insulation. Last year I put my pad in the hammock which was fine for the first 2 nights both sub freezing. But the remainder of the nights I sweated on the pad when it got to the 40's. I carry the pad on the outside but want to nix that thing. ( I have post about the Smokey Mt section running right now also).
How much space does the supershelter take up vs the underquilt?
