So, a lot of what I read about under-quilts has to do with spring winter fall as considerations. I don't have a lot of testing opportunities before "the big trip".
Where and when I am going, record high was 90, record low 39. Averages are mid 50's low, mid 70's high. I was unhappy with my pad pretty quick. I want to be light, cheap and simple. I am going to convert a sleeping bag into an under-quilt. Admittedly, the reason I bailed on this old bag was from spending some cold nights in it. I am also rigging my tarp that came with my hammock to go under as a wind block. Should that be sufficient? Too much?
Often camping in summer i sleep on top of my bag, or only partially covered. I will have, but do not intend to use unless needed, long johns, hat, a cheap emergency blanket, and of course I can zip up my sleeping bag as intended instead of just a top cover now.
you should be good to go, the windproof idea will really help, on my may solo in the bwca, the windproof cover i bought from 2qzq worked superbly to block wind.
