Re: WTD Under Hammock Quilt .
I only have the one but knowing what temp rating, full or 3/4 length, down or synthetic might be of help. Alpkit do a synthetic UQ - https://alpkit.com/products/mora-hammock-underquilt - for some reason they give it a Clo value rather than a temp rating, I think it works out about 5C, might be a bit higher.

Thanks, checked out Alpkit, DD, Blueskylavendar and several Chinese UQ's and under all the fancy spec blurb I never found what weight any of them were !!

For a 101-year old you'd probably want to uprate it a notch or two over average .

The Alpkit is 650g or so, definitely mentioned on the site. Whether you think that's light is another matter.

I have a Cumulus Selva 300 bought a few years back. Not cheap by any measure and you'll pay import duty on them now too, but it's pretty good. Took me quite some time to work out how to best fit it to stop wind getting under it and pinching all the heat. They claim it's 2 deg comfort limit but IME anything below 5 deg and Im reaching for a jacket.

You might struggle with that - down went up in price quite dramatically a few years ago, pretty much across the board low end to high end.
I've a Cumulus Selva 250, it's the "3/4" version of the 300 mentioned above. I put 3/4 in quotes as it's almost a full length for me at 1.80m tall, just my head isn't covered but that's on clothing used as a pillow. I've used it down to 5C and been toasty warm.
Hengehammocks import a few UQs from the States but they ain't cheap!
