    the new cold-weather NeoAir all-season

    Anyone tried it in a hammock? The specs are incredible
    18oz small, 19oz regular, 25oz large
    R value 4.9
    hope they aren't pulling my leg cause thats the best R to oz ratio ive seen with a pad!

    I think I'd find a NeoAir too tall for me in a hammock, a bit too rocky with a higher centre of gravity. Gonna try it next time I messing about with setups though as I've got the normal Neo for ground dwelling.

    Because about 1/4 of my camp sites are treeless. I've heard wonderful things about UQs but it doesnt make sense to carry one along with a pad

    V. expensive
    Only 20" wide, so shoulders hips will be cold.

    better off IMO with one or two WM bluepads, cut and SPEd

    Here is a thread on BPL that I posted some good information,which i think is what your looking for. This is for ground sleeping in theory, but would be pretty much the same for a hammock.

    Post with the information your looking for is a few posts in, and then a followup a few more after that.

    I tried a neoair in a gathered end hammock and I did not like it.
    Might be okay in a bridge hammock but dont have one.

    As above I think you are better off with a double layer (or pocket) and blue pads
    or an UQ.
