NIGHT PROTECTOR

I will update this review when it gets a bit colder, but for now this underquilt is absolutely brilliant! I recently bought a cheap Chinese hammock with a built-in mosquito net, and was amazed how comfortable it is when you lie diagonally. It is slung between two trees in the garden for some late summer napping, stargazing and general chilling. Even in full sunshine it was noticeable that my back was getting slightly chilly, especially if there was any wind. A quick Google followed by a visit to Amazon and my Onetigris Underquilt arrived. Unclip the hammock one end at a time, pass the caribinier through the quilt cords, reattach it and clip on the quilt, then the other end and I was set, no adjustment necessary. The fit is perfect! When empty it hangs a bit low, but when I get in my width pulls it up to just under the hammock and WOW, what a difference! I've gone from instant 'slight chill growing to plain cold' to 'instant toasty warm all night'! It has only got down to about 13 centigrade so far, and I slept in a t-shirt with one of Snugpak's excellent jungle blankets over me, but was warm all night. #UPDATE# It was down to 8 degrees C when I woke up this morning, so I went and laid in the hammock for an hour. In a dressing gown, and with the same jungle blanket over me, I certainly wasn't cold, but I wouldn't describe it as warm either. I could have slept in it, but think colder than this would become uncomfortable. I have every confidence that at the rated 10 degrees it would be fine. #End of update# I didn't find the underquilt prevented me lying diagonally, as some have reported, but this is probably down to different hammock sizes. I think things might have been less comfortable if the temperature had dipped, but there is always the option of wearing more or using a thicker overblanket. Sleeping bags would, no doubt, be the warmest option, but I find them far too restrictive in a hammock. Because the Onetigris has such a defined shape, and hugs my hammock so well, I think it would be very easy to put an extra jungle blanket between the quilt and the hammock for extra insulation on colder nights, and will report back on whether this works when the temperature drops down a bit and I try it. The quilt is very light for the windproofing and insulation it provides, and packs down fairly small. The outer surface is a bit slippery, so when I rolled it up to go in it's compression sack a few unprintable words were used while I encouraged it back in. It may well be easier if I turn it inside out before packing it away. Again, I will update this review when I try. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending the Onetigris 3 Season Underquilt. The quality is excellent, the price is competitive, especially if you look at the higher end of this market, and it's performance is outstanding! Thank you Onetigris and Amazon!

I've had this underquilt for around 5 years now and it's still my go to when the nights turn cold. This has been a godsend for winter, I've used it throughout subzero nights in the Peak District and Scotland and been perfectly warm. Admittedly, it helps if you have a decent sleeping bag too. But combined, you'll be very toasty indeed. I have a number of hammocks from different brands, OneTigris, DD, unbranded and this fits them all perfectly. The only issue I've had is that the elastic around the ends where it attached to the underside of the hammock eventually snapped last year. But I think this is acceptable after many years of use. Very easy fix; bought some thicker elastic from eBay and rethreaded. If you use a compression sack, you can put this in with your sleeping bag or separately and it packs down very small and weighs only around 800g. Perfect for long distance hikers or multiday camps in different locations. I'd definitely recommend this to any hammock camper. Should be part of the essentials.

Highly recommendable underquilt here. This lovely underquilt will keep you nice and toasty in your hammock. It's perfect. Good quality material which is soft and thick. No fancy attachments here - you simply clip both ends of the underquilt to the ends of your hammock with a carabiner. You may need to adjust the cord at either end depending on the length of your hammock, but it is so easy to set up. In terms of warmth, I have only used it in autumn so far but it is keeping me nice and warm, and there is no condensation on it in the mornings. It is easy to pack away into its compression bag and light to carry. Definitely gets the thumbs up from me.

I was really surprised by how simple it was to attach to my hammock. Its very light weight but keeps you warm at night. I slept in -1 my first night but with a good sleeping bag also I was comfortable all night. For the price of this too, I would highly recommend!

Hammock itself seems fantastic, however the ropes and carabineers couldn't hold the weight of my 14 year old son (79kg) causing injuries.

Perfect for Autumn and Spring nights but not enough loft if it’s going to be below 10*C without layering up. High quality construction and definitely recommended. Works well with a 2 season mummy sleeping bag as a top quilt.

Works as should 👍

This is really good quality. It kept me very warm in november in the uk. It seems fairly water proof too and can generally put up with quite a lot while staying fluffy and warm and clean. It attaches very easily to the hammock. I used it in conjunction with the clark hammock that has the pockets in the bottom so there was usually at least some amount of additional insulation but often this was sporadically placed and not a great deal. And its great value!

Testé plusieurs fois dans la nature par des nuits fraiches sans être glaciales, ce quilt de hammac fait parfaitement le boulot. j'envisage de le tester dans mes bivouacs hivernaux franchement froid. En tout cas pour les nuits en hammac "normales" je recommande, vous n'aurez pas cette désagréable sensation de froid dans le dos.
