Important information about the recommended temperature range

The suggested temperature range is based on our personal experience, the opinion of our test group, and the impressions of users over the past 5 years and AURA’s recommendation based on their 30 years of experience. Individual feelings may vary depending on the sensitivity to cold, psychophysical conditions, weather conditions (wind and humidity increase the feeling of cold). The hammock underquilt should always be used with a sleeping bag or a topquilt appropriate to the conditions and wearing a full long thermal baselayer. The underquilt doesn’t replace a sleeping bag!

Why underquilt is needed?

When sleeping in a hammock, a traditional sleeping bag is highly compressed, which reduces the effectiveness of the insulation on the bottom and sides. It is especially troublesome in the fall-winter-spring season when even good quality mats do not guarantee adequate protection against cold. The OTUL® underquilt keeps a layer of warm air around the hammock, making the night calm and comfortable. It eliminates the need for traditional or self-inflating mats.

The effectiveness of the OTUL® underquilt consists of three crucial elements:

• light, durable and quick-drying outer fabric – Tsubasa LOTUS
• perfect insulating layer – 800 CUIN Polish Goose Down. Natural down is the best thermal insulator in the world that synthetic counterparts just cannot match.
• minimalist, universal design – OTUL® is a multifunctional and very easy-to-use product. Ease of use, intuitive assembly and adjustment without unnecessary additions

OTUL® fits any hammock model. Installation and adjustment of the underquilt take one and a half minutes, and the degree of insulation can be adjusted while lying in the hammock thanks to easily accessible regulators.

Tunnels with elastic drawcords at the top and bottom secure against “pouring” of cold air and form the so-called footbox / shoulderbox – a three-dimensional space that surrounds the arms and feet, places particularly exposed to cooling. The multi-chamber design of the underquilt guarantees a constant, maximum loft.

An additional element that seals the fit of the lining to the hammock is the UNGAPER®. It is a small, clever buckle that lifts the underquilt by up to 10 cm and tightly closes the space around the shoulders and feet.

OTUL® is not only a hammock underquilt – the suspension system with a quick release option allows you to change it into a blanket in a few seconds, which can replace a sleeping bag or act as a camping blanket during preparation for an overnight stay, meal breaks, and other stationary activities. Waiting for morning coffee or admiring the sunset in the mountains will no longer be associated with biting frost!

The set with OTUL includes an illustrated instruction manual, which is color-blind friendly.

Description of Otul Aura 120 model

OTUL® AUR 120 is the newest and the lightest version in our famous family of OTUL® underquilts. It has the shape of a rectangle with dimensions of 200×110 cm, weighs 335 g and provides comfort from 8°C to 18°C. When packed, it is the size of a grapefruit. It is the optimal solution for ensuring thermal comfort in the season from late spring to early autumn.

This model is the successor of OTUL® Air:

• 120 grams of down
• goose down 800 CUIN
• light Tsubasa LOTUS fabric 22 g / m2, ripstop
• suspension system, with the possibility of quick detachment and UNGAPER®
• weight 335 grams
• A unique feature of OTUL® is trapezoidal quilting pattern. Such stitching keeps the down in place, preventing its movement in the chambers under the influence of gravity. In the central part, the chambers have a greater volume, which provides more space for the down to expand and increases the level of insulation where it is most needed: on the shoulders, back and hips.
