You need a tarp, under quilt and top quilt. Prepare for 20F or lower leaving that early. I’ve slept at zero degrees in mine with proper fear. Many nights in hard rains and stay dry. Get the right gear.
How is this lighter or better than a one person tent that is rain proof? Temp not really an issue, but rain is my my main question about hammocks.

It’s not lighter or better other than comfort of not laying in the hard ground.
I hammock all the time because even a good sleeping pad isn’t as comfortable. Quality one man tents are lighter even adding a sleeping pad. It’s just something you have to decide for yourself.
There are benefits of both systems.
