Hey guys,
I'm very pleased to announce that my first hammock has arrived (wbbb xlc 1.1 dbl)! I will be trying out some pad configurations during the rest of this winter, but I'm not committing to an UQ until I commit to hanging in general. So I would like to put that purchase off until next winter.
I have done winter camping quite often down to low teens and have lots of ground dwelling gear. I intend to try my Klymit Static V insulated pad as well as my Thermarest Ridgerest Solite XL and see what kind of success I have hanging with them. I have been looking for a way to add some side insulation. I was considering trying an ENO hotspot but a lot of people didn't find much cooler weather success so I'm still looking. I stumbled across the Exped Multimat and thought it would make for a decent supplement to one of my pads for really cold weather as well as add some side insulation. It only has an r.value of .9 but it is 39 inches wide and quite thin. I'm hoping it will wrap the shoulders and supplement my other pads in winter and possibly be its own bottom insulation in the warmer weather where insulation is still needed. I also like that it can be used as a groundcloth or sit pad, overall being quite versatile.
I searched and haven't seen it talked about in roughly 5 years so I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience using one lately (they released a newer model since the last thread was active as well)? If not I will be reviewing it here when I'm able to try it out
Thanks for any insight!
