    Te-Wa limits?

    Hey guys, just doing a little more research before getting my first hammock, so please excuse the ignorance. I am wondering what the limits of Te-Wa's 3-season 3/4 underquilt are. Those being how low the quilt can be taken and at what point is it too warm?

    I know it has a rating of about 30 degrees, but what if I was to have a Z-lite under my legs, capilene 3 top and bottom, a baclava, down booties and a light down jacket, and a 30 degree top quilt. You guys think I could possibly take it down into the 20s with all the warm clothing?

    I know everyone's different, but how low have you taken your 3-season underquilts?


    Living and backpacking in Florida and taking a few AT trips in the Spring and Summer's I tend to spend some warm nights outside. Would a quilt like this be too warm at 70 degrees? Could I leave it at home or just maybe loosen it to increase some air flow?

    Supplementing the underquilt with another pad will definitely take you down there. Adding clothing has limited effectiveness since you compress the loft underneath you. Too warm is not an issue here - you can either slide the UQ out of the way or loosen the ends to vent, or at 70 degrees not even bother to use your UQ.
