Thank-you floorman. The floor touching the ground is only for changing clothes and for storing stuff - thats originally why I made it with a waterproof bottom. The funny thing is that I have no condensation with the floor on the ground and I have a good 15* increase in inside temps. When I pull up the sides and bottom to snug it up around the hammock, I start to get condensation when it gets below 25*. Above 25 and it's fine. Also the walls go way above my ridgeline - over 12" - so it could be due to the huge volume of air thats trapped.
It's a puzzle to be sure. I tried a regular sock a couple nights ago and I had much more condensation - it was made from DWR material also - it was also form fitting and the walls only went up about 6" above my ridgeline. Both socks definitely trapped heat - anywhere from 10 to 20*.
Thanks Catavarie. Thats the thing - there's a huge amount of dead air space due to the sock size. I am curious about how it will perform in snow. It already is frosting heavily here in Indiana and With the sock bottom touching the ground, I have no condensation. Now when I have the bottom pulled up to form fit the hammock - then I get condensation started, but not a huge amount.
