Just dipping my toes in the forays of hammock camping, and it's of course going into winter...
I have a Cocoon Ultralight Mosquito Net Hammock en route (for £67 with free postage (bargain)), and already have a BPL Solo tarp, so feel like all I really need is something under me to keep me warm? Unless an inflatable roll mat will work? But I hear that underquilts might better/more comfortable etc.
Alpkit have their synthetic underquilt for £50-odd, which seems good value, but has anyone used it? Lighter than alternatives (e.g Snugpak and generic Amazon), and not sure if it will fit the Cocoon hammock as it's designed for their Mora, but good value nonetheless. Not UL at 700g, but could be a good first foray? Unless there are better options?
My roll mats are a regular XTherm and a Downmat 9, and then some self-inflating non insulated types.
Any suggestions or tips very welcome, as I've only ever 'swung' in summer inside my van!
