Cold weather gear advice

[tandrewmalan]

You don’t have to worry about your wife’s sleeping bag compressing under her because you will be using an UQ anyway. If she is not using the sleep bag unzipped - like a top quilt - it might be easier for her to get settled by standing next to it and stepping into the sleeping bag outside the hammock, then sitting down and entering the hammock.

That's why I really dislike sleeping in bags in hammocks.

I also use an under quilt protector or a full cover - the spindrift. Those items cost much less than a warmer, better fitting, underquilt.

Dang, a spindrift JUST sold on the for sale page. I'll look into a quilt protector though.
