I'm in the market for a warmer underquilt for my Ridgerunner, and have been debating between a 0 F degree and a "Scandinavian" (no temp listed but below 0) Lynx from Warbonnet. I'm a very cold sleeper, but using the Warbonnet winter sock plus slipping a space blanket between hammock layers, I think that a 0 degree will work for most of the winter where I live. That being said, I'm a VERY cold sleeper, and have been considering getting a thin pad as a "just in case" solution to add when night temps dip lower than usual. Since it wouldn't be my main solution, I'd obviously want it to be pretty lightweight, so I don't mind hauling it along. I thought I could get a 40" X 80" inch pad from MLD:

and cut it to pretty much follow the contours of my Ridgerunner, like I have with the space blanket. I'm wondering whether I should get the 1/4" or the 1/8" however. Benefits of the 1/8" would be that it would presumably contour better to my body in the hammock, since it's so thin, and not be too stiff. Also it's significantly lighter, so easier to justify carrying along. I wonder how much of a benefit it will add though, compared to the 1/4" thick pad.
Any advice? I've never used a pad in a hammock before.
Thanks!
