    And I found just the opposite. With the nest mated to the HH I couldn't get the opening to seal up fully and it allowed cold air to get the my bum. Maybe I didn't have it mated properly but I found it much warmer to mate the Nest to itself and just push it aside as I enter or exit the HH.

    I don't own a Nest (no color blindness here) but sag under the knees is a problem I've heard alot and it has happened with my KAQ. It seems like mating the Nest to the hammock velcro would minimize this.
