AYAMAYA Single & Double Hammock Underquilt, 4 Season Camping Hammock Quilt

This is a fantastic entry level hammock underquilt. I got it as my first to test out the concept. It is rather heavy coming in over 3 lbs and it is also rather large. I definitely would not consider this for any backpacking trips. This product does good at keeping me warm above 40 degrees when I use it with a top quilt or sleeping bag. I love the length of this quilt as it encompasses nearly all of the hammock. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try out an underquilt without a large commitment cost, and to anyone who does not intend to use it for backpacking. I personally will be getting a higher quality underquilt and be using this one for guests.

Me and a few of my buddies were going on a motorcycle trip where we would be camping overnight and I didn't have room for a tent and everything that goes with it on the bike so I needed to bring my hammock. That is usually not a problem but we had a late season cold front come through and dropped the temperatures to 45 degrees at night, which is cold for us Georgia boys. I skeptically bought this under quilt in an attempt to salvage the trip and keep me warm and it couldn't have performed any better! I underestimated the heating capabilities of it, I only had room to bring a decent blanket with me and I slept in pants and with a jacket on and honestly should have taken my jacket off. I was so warm when I got into the hammock that i didn't cover up with the blanket which made me wake up at 4 AM due to being a little chilly, so I grabbed the blanket and went right back to sleep and when i woke up the next morning i was actually too warm and almost sweating. This setup could have easily handled another 10 degrees colder and setting it up was also a breeze because it clipped right onto my straps without any adjustments and had the perfect amount of space between the hammock and the UQ. I haven't used an expensive under quilt but i can't see one performing so much better than this one that would justify an extra $100 unless you will be in extreme cold, so if you're contemplating on buying this thing I highly suggest pulling the trigger on it, it is definitely worth the $35 in my opinion.

I had to come back and edit this review, after looking at some of the others. PLEASE NOTE: Many of the folks who are giving this a one-star review seem to have tried using this as a HAMMOCK!! Then they are surprised when they end up on the ground, or it that it won't support 2 people. (OMG! It's shock cord -- so many things wrong with that scenario -- it stretches AND it is not designed to hold weight. I felt so sorry for your poor behinds!) If you already know this about this product, you can skip to the review part. THIS IS NOT A HAMMOCK! It is a blanket you use to keep warm, and it hangs under your hammock. It is much cheaper than every cottage industry and big box store option out there, making it ideal if you just want to try things out or don’t need to worry about weight or bulk. There is a bit of a learning curve (and no one should try to sleep outdoors in gear they're using for the first time unless you have a nice, cozy car to crash in when it all goes wrong!) You are always going to learn more using your gear in the field, but how much newness you will have to tolerate can put you quickly outside your comfort zone and possibly compromise your safety. I say this as a person who has made 4 A.M. runs (yes, plural) to Wal-Mart b/c I didn't know about the non-insulating factor of an air mattress in winter. It needs to be tied w/ a simple overhand knot or secured w/ carabiners to your hammock suspension (there are a million ways to do this – tie it, use a stick and one of the suspension strap loops, buy small carabiners, slide the knot between the line running into the gathered end of your hammock. . .) and the length adjusted with the cord locks to keep it in the target zone -- shorten or lengthen it at the head &/or foot end, depending on where you end up in the hammock, which in turn may depend on how you suspended it. (Derek Hanson has written an excellent, brilliantly illustrated book explaining all this called The Ultimate Hang. Worth every penny for newbies.) Many prefer the head end slightly lower and with a substantial swoop that lets them lie sideways. The quilt should cover where your body rests in the hammock and not have too much air between the quilt and the hammock (or it will feel just like sleeping on an air mattress! Your body just can’t keep that much air warm.) It needs to be pulled tightly enough that it rests against the ends of the hammock (using the shock cord at the end to cinch the hole to match the size of the place it rests on the hammock, and you should leave a small cushion of air between the blanket and the bottom of the hammock. Pretty much like you do in bed. The covers only touch part of your body, but yet you stay warm, because the blanket traps heat in the spaces NEAR your body. For the record, in all my years of hammock camping (which I do exclusively now), haunting the hammock forums and watching videos and reading reviews, not a single person will actually sleep with another person in their hammock. It’s absurdly uncomfortable and difficult to move. Double hammocks can accommodate cuddling or have 2 derrieres side by side sitting up, but you really, really don’t want to spend the night literally on top of another person. Or under them. Or tangled with them. It’s a lot like rolling into the dip of a 40-year-old mattress. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t get out of the low spot. It will test your love. I use an underquilt any time the tempt drops to 70F or below (even inside if the AC is cranked), as the airspace and tightness of the hammock fabric underneath you make you significantly colder. (Think highway overpass in the wind, and you’ll have the right idea. It’s why bridges ice over when the rest of the road is fine.) That said, this isn't rated for seriously cold-weather camping, but it'll hold you in the shoulder seasons, and definitely spring. Back to my original review: This is great for car camping or use in a guest room (lookin' at you, sis!). It gives full coverage and comfort in a single or double hammock and fits your body stem to stern. Somtimes I pull the shockcord on either side and affix it to my ridgeline when I feel it's hanging too low. (This is because the way I hang is variable, depending on the distance between tree, the height I've used on the tree, the terrain, and how many beers I've had. The stuffsack is absurdly over-engineered and is the only downside to this quilt. It is virtually impossible and darned inconvenient getting in back into the stuffsack. The first thing I did was remove the useless compression straps (it's such a tight fit, you couldn't compress it further.) If you are committed to using the stuff sack -- STUFF it. You'll never get it back in the way it came, and that won't hurt anything. This is in no way compatible with backpacking, as it's huge, bulky, all the things we love about it when we have plenty of room for equipment or are using it indoors. Maximum comfort and an effortless install when weight or managability isn't an issue.

Keeps warm and fits a single wide hammock. Very easy to set up. Blocks the wind and keeps your bum warm. The best value!

I am not experienced with hammock camping. Just getting into it now, but on my first backyard trial I definitely got the cold butt, and ended up back in the house. This solved that problem for me in early summer, maybe 58*F overnight. I did a good bit of research and know the shape and size I was looking for, and this newer version that popped up from Ayamaya matched up nicely. I live in the south and don't plan on any freezing night camping, but I figure I can easily layer a military woobie or blanket into this if I ever needed to, or get a 2nd one and layer them. Doesn't pack down very small, but... It's smaller than my Coleman sleeping bag, which I use like a "topquilt" in the hammock and this combo works great. My hammock is an 11' onewind hammock (tarp too!), and I have loved it. The quilt cords are only JUST long enough for this length of hammock, but that would be an easy fix if you have a longer one. It wrapped up nicely on each side to block any wind that might be happening. Update (after a lovely summer camping session): was very comfy down to 60*F in shorts with just a light camping blanket. I am very happy with the purchase. So glad to have checked back and seen this new redesign from Ayamaya. The bugnet in the pic is a Cave Creek Pet Palace also amazing!

Worked really good had it out on some cold nights and some higher elevations. Fits the hammock, really nice huge improvement and warmth over sleeping bag alone. I had no idea I was losing so much heat out the bottom.

This is underquilt number 2 - and I am a die-hard hammock enjoyer. What really brought me to this one in particular is that it's several inches wider. When you're in the hammock, this one comes all the way up the sides. It's excellent. It keeps the wind out great, and cold out as well (Got down to ~5c/40f and I was sweating with just a blanket). It's slightly heavier than my previous one... but the actual warmth and comfort it brings is a huge trade off. Another consideration that I love - it's just one snaplink on each side. that's it. My other one had a bunch of cords and elastic bits that you had to fuse together. I did end up replacing the snaplinks. Not due to quality, they are just fine - just got some nice lightweight aluminum ones. So yeah - extremely easy to set up. Put up hammock. Snap this under it. Done. It's that easy. I do plan on doing some below freezing camping this season - and my plan is just this with a real good bag. I guess we'll see!

So I bought this awhile back because my other underquilt that can be adjusted to really hug you into a small burrito, interfered with my ability to get that perfect diagonal sleeping position. So I ordered this one since it had the largest square cm I could find reasonably priced especially considering the extra width. I recently got a chance to try it out and I will update this review when I get a chance to take it winter camping; the first time I tried it was inside a home that was around 60-62°F at night. So I can't comment yet on it's ability for retaining heat in windy or truly winter temperatures (yet!). That being said, the 1st night in those conditions I tried layering up and a sleeping bag and found without the underquilt it was way too cold. Once I put the underquilt on I had to switch to a much lighter blanket and I was so comfortable I didn't want to get out. I was nervous when I first put it on because it sat higher around the edges of my hammock than my hammock hung before adding it. I took my hammock sides and pulled them slightly over the edges to help ensure I was climbing in the hammock and not just the underquilt. The underquilt has very elastic straps so the higher hang even when clipped to the clips of my hammock, didn't feel uncomfortable or tight but it did magically adjust to that perfect setting of close enough to keep in warmth but loose enough to lay in whatever position. My hammock is wide enough that at 5ft7in I can lay perpendicular along the width. I typically lay at a 45° diagonal across the length. This underquilt is perfect for that!

Just what I needed! I go camping quite a bit and stay in my hammock, this makes it absolute luxury. Literally don't want to leave due to being so perfectly warm. Must buy if you go hammocking overnight, especially in BC area.

Item came super quick, and for the price it's not bad. I used this on a 4 day off track adventure. Temps got down to 3°c and I was freezing. I had to put a space blanket between the hammock and underquilt. I wouldn't want to use this lower than 8°c. It's made fairly well and feels nice. This will be a spring and summer only underquilt for me.

je l'adore super chaud, je prend sa et un sleeping pour -10 et je dort as -15 celsius je recommande fortement surtout pour le prix

Edit: the 3rd time I used it, the straps for the compression bag totally ripped off. It still kind of works as a stuff sack, but definitely doesn't compress any longer. I picked up this underquilt for winter camping. 1st time using it was a little tough to set up due to the lack of drawstrings and I kind of just toed it to the hammock. 2nd time I used it, I doubled up the drawstring and clipped it to my carabiner for the hammock. This worked great and was positioned perfectly (see first photo in day light) The underquilt itself is warn. I had it out in -6⁰C and never had a cold spot. The reason I gave it 4☆ instead of 5 is due to the weak compression sack. I've only used the compression twice and ots already ripped from one of the seams. I don't suspect it's going to last much longer as a compression sack, so I'll need to replace ot with a higher quality sack for transportation. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase for its purpose of keeping warm, just disappointed in the quality of the compression sack.

It seems to he quite warm, however I have yet to get it into an extreme environment. That will come soon enough. I do however wish it had a more customizable as there is no drawstrings to make it better fit my particular hammock
