    Underblanket?

    I have an incubator for the cold nights. I want something like it for the rest of the time. I want it to be full length, but just a little loft like .5" down blanket.

    Anybody make anything like that?

    Paul made a one season full length uq for me, but it's syn.

    Summer or 1 season 3/4 or full under quilts are also available from hammockgear.com, the makers of your incubator. Summer quilts are usually rated to 40F, but they also do custom work.

    A tip that I read from Hangnout recently about differential underquilts is to hang them inside out so that the lofted down is against the hammock and to adjust the suspension to compress the down to your desired comfort level. This beats the cycle of sliding the underquilt to the side of your or under you when you're either too cold or too hot.

    Cheers

    I've had success just using my 3S Crow's Nest (Phoenix) by HG.com. .... by just haning loose and open in summer nights when it gets a bit chilly. And of course if it gets too warm you can reach around and move or loosen it more.
