Hammock underbalnket recommendations

[Madriverrob]

I'm in the market for an underblanket , have looked at the obvious snugpak and DD products ( I have a DD camping hammock and tarp ) and Bopdude has pointed out snugpak hammock cocoon.

Any feedback on the above welcome as well as any other options .........

A few questions.

Price
Temp required
Weight/pack size

Most of my top and underquilts are from hammockgear:

Snugpack and DD are 'ok' good to somewhere around freezing depending how you sleep. The snugpack seemed the warmer of the two for me but the suspension needs a very simple mod to fuction properly

Down is king imo and i'd recommend scott at Bespoke ultralight equipment for anything hammock related.....scottyvonporkchop on here

Cheers Guys , Down would be my preference but I'm afraid having looked I don't have the budget at the moment.

Would be for UK winter use and I sleep warm and have a good sleeping bag. Weight /pack size not critical .

There appears to be a big price difference between synthetic and down ( as expected I suppose ). Maybe I'll start with a budget option and see how I go .

I've looked at Scott's work and emailed him . He's stopped selling on EBAY .

Out of the two i'd go for the snugpack, seemed warmer

Just a heads up, noticed Carinthia started making under quilts recently.

I had a OneTigris, only sold it because I bought an EasyHammock with the UQ built in. Cheap, warm, easy to attach, just hook onto ends of hammock. The bungee cords are too thin to pull it up properly, but it a simple matter of tying on some thicker stuff.

Not at all. I've bought a few things from them via their AliExpress shop. About a week.

I’ll have a closer look ......

I use a couple of wool blankets folded in half and some blanket pins inside a nva shelter half. Pin/button around the outside of the hammock. You can attch the foot end between the ropes so it doesnt slide down. And there you have a woolly windproof sleeping bag you can just slide up or down to get in or out the hammock. With no compressed insulation or cold air currents on your bottom. Whole lot costed me about 30-40 quid with the versatility of using the blankets and shelter half for the hundreds of other uses they have. Can be quite heavy though.
