AYAMAYA 4 Season Hammock Underquilt

Overview

This is a hammock underquilt, not a bed quilt: it straps beneath a hammock to insulate the sleeper from cold air underneath rather than covering them on top. It's sized at 98.4 inches long and up to 51.2 inches wide to wrap around the sides and bottom of a standard single or double hammock.

The shell is 20D ripstop nylon with a DWR water resistant coating, lined with 300T polyester pongee and filled with synthetic imitation silk floss, a build aimed at blocking convective heat loss underneath an open hammock. Elastic straps and bungee cord loops on both ends, plus two included carabiners, are how it attaches, rather than any hardware built into the hammock itself. AYAMAYA lists a comfort range of 20 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, though the listing also notes it isn't meant for cold winter conditions, a more precise number than the four season label alone suggests.

Who it's for

For hammock campers and backpackers who've felt cold air from underneath in a hammock and want insulation there instead of, or in addition to, a top quilt or sleeping bag. Not useful for anyone without a hammock, since it has no function as standalone bedding.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

An underquilt works by trapping air below the hammock instead of relying on a sleeping pad, which gets compressed and loses insulating value under body weight. The DWR coated ripstop shell resists moisture from below, while the polyester pongee lining and synthetic fill provide the loft that actually holds warmth. At 3.04 lbs and packed down in its included compression stuff sack, it's built to travel light, and the elastic straps with bungee loops are meant to go on and off a hammock quickly rather than needing a permanent setup.
