It could also increase weight. If the pleats used up the same amount of width, it may not matter. Hard to know where is the best compromise.

Yours will ship tomorrow morning!


It won't work well in between the layers, because it will be compressed. Hang it tight around the edges and loose underneath. It should only touch the hammock...

2Q & ZQ make the 2QZQ UQ Protector, which is a silnylon UC, or weathershield. Is that what you are referring to?

What I'm thinking of making is a breathable, lightweight, nylon slip cover for an...

I live in a small town... post office is not far away. :rolleyes:

I sure wish I could get all the other IX UQs out of here that fast! Hang in there, everybody! I'm getting it done!

None that I've heard about this week, but it won't be long... I have almost two dozen IX UQs that will be mailed out this week!

The InsulTubes work very well!


For the Traveler, I'll make it...

The non-woven scrim might be polyester, but it is probably polypropylene, since Insultex is so bouyant.

It would be nice to discover that it takes a dye!

Thought about it, nothing tried yet.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that nothing will adhere to it. Polyehtylene cannot be glued, painted or repaired with expoxy or any other resin or adhesive....

$40 for one, $60 for two, $35 to cover one.

I'd like to encourage folks to use them without a covering, because it adds little for what it costs and weighs.

Yes. I did not want to double the bulk. A 2'X3' piece of IX under my butt got rid of CBS, so that's what I added to the UQ.

That has yet to be shown.

I believe three layers of IX with...

I think that's the best explanation.

Now imagine if you merely touched the window glass, it would compress and lose it's insulating properties. That's IX!

:eek:

I like that, Oh-No! Boundary layer conditions are just what I had in mind when I did the integral analysis of the temperature gradient while varying the small distance between layers. :lol:
...

Here are a couple of pictures of an IXUQ with InsulTubes. I cut a 2'x3' piece of IX, made three pleats about 1/2", hemmed it, then installed it in the bottom of the fitted IXUQ. The InsulTubes tend...

The Arctic Armour is over sized... the bulk allows the IX to maintain air gaps.

It works similar to the Garlington Insulator.

Yes, someone has already asked for my scraps!

...over a year of Hammock Forums member testing, that's all! :D

Insultex needs a tiny air gap between itself and the thing it is insulating, whether it is one layer or more. :cool:

No, I don't know how to do that. However, it will not be absolutely necessary because of InsulTubes. (See below)

Bleemus, pics are in this thread, but I'll add more here.

Today or tomorrow I...

BTW, I'm going to make a differential cover for the IX UQ. That way, you are less likely to rig it too tight underneath your hammock. The inner covering will be cut slightly narrow, so that the IX...

Folks,

On Friday night at MAHHA, Thing1 and I spent the night at 48*F, each of using a single layer IX UQ. We also had the new 2QZQ UQ Protector under us.

On Saturday night, it got down to...
