Spent a couple of nites in the bush with the new polyester hammock covers and both worked well in fairly demanding conditions.
1) Nite time temp went down to 34F.
2) Humidity was 100 %. Could actually see the water droplets floating in the air in the beam from my headlamp.
3) Sleeping systems were in one hammock an army surplus down bag and a Wal mart blue pad. In the other was a -12 down filled bag with a blue wal mart pad. Pads were 20" x 50".
4) Wearing poly LJ's and using a down filled vest for a pillow.
Both of us slept warm and dry with no condensation problems when cover top was zipped shut. My partner also used the cover to store his jacket and pants in the bottom so would have increased the insulation factor. I had my rain slicker in the bottom of mine as a just in case it rains and I need it thing.
