Hi, I've recently gotten into hammock camping and have decided to get an underquilt and a top quilt. I live by the rockies and backpack around Utah and Idaho mostly. Often when I backpack I will go to bed in 50-60 degree weather and wake up with my water bottle frozen shut. I was thinking that I should get an underquilt with a 20 degree rating and a top quilt with a 40 degree rating for weight and space savings. Then I thought that it might be better to get a 40 degree underquilt and 20 degree top quilt. What do you guys think would be better? I've heard that underquilts often go far below their rated temperature rating.
Thanks!
