Phoenix

The Phoenix: Ultralight Underquilt The Phoenix is an ultralight underquilt built for hammock campers who count every gram. Its ¾-length design insulates you from the shoulders to the knees, then stops to save weight. As a result, you carry less without giving up core warmth. It hangs beneath your hammock to protect the one spot a top quilt cannot. For minimalist hangers, this ultralight underquilt strikes a smart balance of warmth and weight. Why Your Back Gets Cold at Night In a hammock, your body weight crushes the insulation beneath you. Therefore, a sleeping bag or pad alone leaves your back cold. An underquilt fixes this by hanging outside the hammock, where the down stays lofted. As a result, warm air surrounds you instead of compressing flat. So a hammock underquilt is the key to comfortable cold-weather hanging. Save Weight Where It Counts The Phoenix is a ¾-length underquilt that ends around knee level to trim weight and pack size. Because your legs need less insulation in a hammock, this focus makes sense. For colder trips, simply extend coverage with a foot pad or a Burrow top quilt. If you want head-to-toe warmth instead, reach for the full-length Incubator. Either way, you build the system that fits your trips. Premium Down for an Ultralight Underquilt We fill every ultralight underquilt with ethically sourced 850-fill-power down. As a result, it delivers a high warmth-to-weight ratio in a tiny package. Choose a 7-, 10-, or 20-denier shell to balance weight and durability. In addition, draft collars at both ends let you seal in heat or vent it. A contoured shape then hugs your body to close cold gaps. Customize Your Ultralight Underquilt We build every Phoenix to order around your body and your climate. First, choose a temperature rating from a mild 40°F down to a frosty 0°F. Then, add overfill if you want extra warmth for the coldest nights. An adjustable secondary suspension lets you tune the fit, even asymmetrically. You can also pick your shell colors to make it your own. Pack It Down and Go When it is time to move, this ultralight underquilt compresses down small. For example, a 40°F model stuffs to roughly 4.5 liters. Therefore, it slips into your pack with weight to spare. Pair it with the Quest tarp for a light, weatherproof setup. Wherever you hang, follow Leave No Trace principles to protect the backcountry.
