    When is an under quilt needed

    I'm from South Africa and going on a bike trip and will be using my hammock for the first time. Night temp will drop to 5-10 *C (celsius).
    Will I need an under quilt?

    Most people tend to need an UQ below 70F or 21C

    I think you will definitely need some kind of insulation. Even just laying on you clothes compresses them to where you'll feel cool even in warmer temperatures especially if there is a breeze. It may not take much insulation but I think you'll be more comfortable.
