Advice on a Underblanket/quilt.

[Springheeljack1]

I am looking at getting a Underblanket for my DD travel hammock and I noticed that DD sell one,

http://www.ddhammocks.com/product/underblanket

Are they good or could someone suggest another option at around the same price.

Thanks in advance!

I'll be flogging an 'as new' Snugpak UQ when my UKhammocks one arrives, if you can wait a week or two...

You can't go wrong with the Snugpak/DD underquilt. If you don't mind a bit of weight and bulk then it'll see you right through a British winter without any bother. If you want something lighter and much less bulky then you need to look at down versions.

You could always look at making your own matey?
Issue warm weather bag Hammock pod.

Just a thought. £25 from here?

You can always buy a cheap sleeping bag and modify it to use as an u/q.

E.g. slip a silver thermo blanket that are cheap as chips below your sleep bag or in that space DDs' give you,then a lightweight bag as said u/q.

Bit cheaper than those sold as a dedicated u/q.

Must remember not to ignore Southeys posts, some do make sense...

I'm looking forward to seeing Southey's video, I am looking for a cheaper UB solution, I can't justify £75 upwards.

It's my time of the month.

I made one from a Go Outdoors £5 sleeping bag.

I'm finding it a bit hit and miss. A few weeks ago I slept in the garden with that, a foil backed picnic blanket in the slot of my DD campning hammock and a army summer sleeping bag; was loverly and warm. I was in the woods on Saturday with same set up but except a diy foam mat instead of the picnic blanket and was cold.

I just haven't sussed it yet.
