    Yeh, I agree. I got the 20° Wooki UQ and used my wife's LLBean 0° mummy bag as a TQ and easily went to 16° (no wind). I already converted am old 40° down bag to a TQ and my wife may request the conversion on her bag although it's not necessary unless you ate concerned about metal zippers and hardware ruining your hammock. I might even consider getting a 0° Wooki and passing the 20° Wooki to my wife as I'm the winter hanger here!

    I'm still relatively new to all of this, but I definitely agree with the advice given. It definitely seems like a good UQ makes way bigger a difference for warmth and lets you get by with a lesser means of top insulation. My budget sleeping bag from Amazon is only rated down to a comfortable 45, but in 32 degree temps (was much colder than forecasted) I was fine with good bottom insulation if I kept the air seal tight.

    Underquilt hands down

    I agree with this. Save your money up
