Ultralight Hammock Underquilt for Adventurers

The Western Mountaineering Slinglite is a lightweight and highly portable underquilt designed to provide ample warmth during backcountry adventures, whitewater trips, or other outdoor activities where compact and lightweight equipment is essential. Compared to other methods of insulating the body while sleeping in a hammock, a down underquilt offers a much lighter, significantly warmer, and more compact solution.

Crafted with premium materials, the Slinglite features a lightweight and highly breathable inner lining, coupled with a highly water-resistant outer shell fabric. This underquilt can be used with a variety of popular hammock models, including those from ENO, Kammock, Ticket To The Moon, and Grand Trunk. Attaching the Slinglite to most hammocks is a straightforward process, as it can be secured using the shock-corded end clips that connect to the gated clips at each end of the hammock.

For some hammock systems, users may opt to utilize the available side clips or sewn loops along the sides to position the underquilt higher on each side. These additional loops and hooks provide ample versatility, allowing for a wide range of rigging configurations, tarp setups, hammock systems, or unique applications.

Beyond its primary use as an underquilt, the Slinglite can also serve as a versatile camper van comforter or blanket for an RV, providing warmth for up to three pairs of legs during winter games or outdoor events.

With its 74-inch length and a girth that ranges from 26 inches at the shoulders and feet to 45 inches at the hips, the Slinglite offers a comfortable and adaptable fit. Weighing in at a mere 13 ounces, with an 8-ounce down fill, this underquilt packs down to a compact 5-inch by 10-inch size, making it an ideal choice for backcountry adventures.

Crafted with premium 15-denier water-resistant nylon and filled with 850-fill-power goose down, the Slinglite is rated for temperatures as low as 20°F (-7°C) when paired with top insulation of equal warmth. The elastic drawcord closure on both ends, along with the side clips and sewn loops, provide multiple mounting options and allow for easy adjustments to the lateral position.

Featuring continuous baffle chambers (not sewn-through), the Slinglite maximizes loft and warmth, ensuring a cozy and comfortable night's sleep in a hammock. Whether you're embarking on a backcountry expedition, lounging in a camper van, or seeking warmth at a winter outdoor event, the Western Mountaineering Slinglite delivers a versatile and reliable solution for your insulation needs.
