    Chacabraka Faux Fur Hammocks

    I saw this while surfing the net, and thought it might have some applicability to hammock camping.
    Faux fur as an insulation - good idea?

    I'm with wisenber. It would keep me warm!

    The fur being on the inside, you're going to compress it and really reduce it's insulation ability. That's all a tactile thing. If you flipped it inside out, then you might have something, but it would still be *much* heavier than down or synthetics like Climashield.

    There's a reason they developed the synthetic insulation to replace fur.

    It's obviously unsuitable for camping but could be good for indoor hanging.

    ...or dimensions. I'm curious about the cost as well... They're really cool looking for the living room! Kind of "fancy" hammocks!
