I would make netting area bigger. Living in SC we do not have weather you have Shug!!! To cold for this Big Red Head.
I agree with the OP. An integrated bugnet can help diminish airflow over the hammock bed.
The road to success is always under construction.

I am only one year into this hammock thing and only a few nights of real cold weather ,but I just like the bug net on my WBBB.In my mind I just feel more secure,and even when the bugs are gone I have a hard time talking myself into leaving it unzipped.. Might be all those years ground dwelling in a tent.Definitely keeps some heat in (summer too unfortunately).
Agreed on the effects of the bug net. The hole idea is essentially a version of the Hennessy over cover:

There are several variables in play. One can pick up around 5-10 deg of warmth with the over cover. Depending on the base outside temperature that can mean condensation when really cold or dry and a tad warmer when the inside air is warm enough to exit before condensing out the moisture. Sometimes a bit of bottom edge opening will set up a circulation pumping the moist air out. A lot of room for fiddle factor and little room for absolutes. ;-)
YMMV

Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
Shug at what temps do you find that a TQ and UQ start to fail. I know you said sub 0* but what about the 10-20* range.
When do the rest of you start using a sock or top cover. Just started and want to do a few winter trips.
