Trail Winder Underquilt Options Guide
For detailed information about fabrics, insulation, coverage configurations, sizing, suspension, and modular insulation, see the Trail Winder Underquilt Options Guide (opens in a new tab).
Sizing and Coverage
Select the length of the hammock you plan to use with your Trail Winder. The underquilt will be made approximately one foot shorter than your hammock. Standard configurations accommodate 9'–12' hammocks.
Choose your insulated coverage configuration based on your preferred sleeping position and desired coverage.
| Coverage | Best Suited For |
|---|---|
| Regular Asym | Customers with a consistent diagonal lay who want to minimize weight and packed size. |
| Broad Shoulders Asym | Broader shoulders or customers wanting additional upper-body insulation while retaining a shaped design. |
| Full Width | Customers who change sleeping positions or prefer more uniform insulation coverage. |
The product photo gallery illustrates the three coverage options. For approximate dimensions, lay orientation guidance, and additional details, see the Trail Winder Underquilt Options Guide linked above.
Modular Insulation
The Trail Winder can be equipped to accept a separate Modular Add-On insulation layer for additional warmth.
Important: Modular attachment snaps are not included unless selected. If you plan to add modular insulation later, choose the snap option when ordering to avoid returning the underquilt for modification.
Choose No for standard construction without modular snaps, No, Snaps Only for future add-on compatibility, or Yes to order the modular insulation layer with the underquilt. An add-on layer is not included with standard or snaps-only construction.

- Trail Winder underquilt

Super well made and a perfect fit for my homemade mtn XL hammock.
Super easy to use. Setup is very fast, basically just clip the mini-biners to either end of your hammock and you're good to go. There's no need to fiddle with anything during the night, everything stays in place and keeps you warm. I was a little worried whether the asymmetric cut would be wide enough when I ordered. But I've used this on a few trips now and have been warm and comfortable every night so far. The 40F comfort rating feels accurate to me. I'm also really happy with how light and packable it is. My UQ is actually just slightly lighter than advertised which will make it great for backpacking.
I live in the Amazon rainforest where hammocks are a necessity and a vital part of everyday life. In the southern part of the Amazon basin it can get cold enough to make one wish for an underquilt, but in general, an extra set of clothes and a light blanket will work. However, the other issue is the mosquitoes. Permethrin is not easily available here and there are questions about daily exposure. So I have the lightest Trail Winder UQ Jared makes. It takes the chill out so I can carry less night-time clothes in my pack plus I get the added benefit of that extra layer between me and the mosquitoes...including those carrying malaria. Thank you, Jared, for this great product.
Best quilt I own hands down. Great design and excellent craftsmanship. I love that I don't have to fiddle around with this quilt at all. No migrating down, no chasing cold spots. 11/10
I grabbed the trail winder UQ with the removable second layer of insulation. It's perfect for me. I took it out for some November camping in the PNW. It rained every night I was out and the UQ got wet from splashing and humidity but I wasn't wet in my hammock and I was warm as can be. I didn't even know the UQ was wet until I thought to check.
The process of ordering and receiving the UQ was nothing short of exceptional. I would 100% recommend both the product and brand. You can't go wrong and if you manage to order something incorrectly Jared will make it right.
