Why You Might Need an Underquilt for Hammock Camping: Understanding Its Purpose
Understanding the Underquilt
An underquilt is a crucial accessory for hammock camping, particularly in cooler climates. It's essentially insulated material hanging beneath your hammock to retain heat and provide warmth. Underquilts become essential when temperatures drop below 4°C (40°F), complementing our adventure hammocks and compatible with various hammock models. Here's a look at some underquilt options available on our site:
