What clothing do you wear when you sleep in your hammock in the woods

[Halfed]

I wear a thermal trousers and long sleeves t-shirts. When the temperature is under 40's I also wear a wool hat.
As I'm newbie in cold weather I have tried wearing those clothing in summer nights here but I got CBS and couldn't get sleep even using my sleeping bag. This is why I ordered quilts from HG to me and the wife. Also I got the 2qzq UQP to increase the warmth and obviously to protect the UQ.
Even though, I will keep wearing my "pijamas" to protect my skin.

Merino Wool short of on the 'hot' nights of which we do not get very many

Normal 3 season on the trail is shorts and tshirt or lightweight hoodie - i like sleeping with a hood vs hat, but I do bring a climasheild beanie on most trips. If its sub 45, I'll being sleep socks too.
I'll reserve my puffy if I misjudge the overnight low.

If I'm in the backyard, generally a normal weight hoodie and pajama pants.

I wear very minimal clothing in my hammock, as your insulation is actually more effective if you have less on. Same applies to sleeping bags on the ground. With an UQ/TQ combo, you should be comfortable down to the quilts temp rating. My setup currently is very much jerry rigged. I have a Snugpack UQ, and Jungle Blanket, which does not have the sewn foot box. Previously, I used a Coleman big & tall sleeping bag that I re-engineered into a pod, with the Jungle Blanket if I needed a little extra insulation. I might wear a fleece or wool beanie on my head if it’s really cold out, but otherwise, it’s just shorts and a T-shirt.

I subscribe to this notion too.

Maybe I’m nuts, but I won’t wear socks until it drops below around 25°. Above that? Barefoot. 25 is around my boundary into “cold” sleep wear.

For torso warmth I have a long sleeve merino, or a long sleeve midweight shirt, then my favorite is a light wool blend sweater. A micropuff Patagonia is my backup. On my legs a lightweight merino long john, or perhaps a midweight ECWCS long john (same stuff I wear under the dry suit when kayak fishing).

I do go toasty with my head. Either a balaclava or a fleece neck gaiter, then at least the UGQ skully, maybe with a light merino cap underneath.

I totally agree with this. For winter trips or cold weather trips: boxer shorts/clean wicking tee/fleece hat/socks maybe, but I may toss on a fleece pullover and longjohns if I feel chilly. Summer and warm weather trips: boxers and sleep t-shirt that I always use to hike out on my last day. I sleep pretty warm but when it's cold I sometimes toss in my down vest and use it to add warmth where needed.

There's no right or wrong to the OP's question. Do what works for you to keep yourself comfortable.

What down vest are you wearing, and how do you like it? Im wanting to ditch the jacket and just go with a vest.

I've got a cheapie $20 one from Costco that has held up fine over the years. 2 of my hiking buddies saw mine so I had pick them up for them. Down vest is a great addition to my kit and looking back at past trips, I've gotten a ton of use out of it.
