I might have hit on novel way to add some bottom insulation to a double layer Ridgerunner- I spent the last four days hammocking in Algonquin & Emily (close to Peterborough) Ontario Provincial parks. The lows were 36 degrees F. I brought along a Ridge Creek 3 season (3/4 length) underquilt, a Snugpak top quilt & a couple lightly insulated blankets. On the first night I found my lower legs were cold. Looking for more warmth I thought that there’s enough slack between the double layers that some thinner insulation won’t compress too badly. So on the next three nights I stuffed the Costco down throw (700 fill) between the double layers. The CDT is 60” x 70” so I just loosely spread it around. The throw reached from mid-chest to the foot of the Ridgerunner. It worked wonderfully! I slept as well as at home, no cold legs with the CDT & Snugpak's footbox. Give it a shot & let me know what you think.
