A couple weeks ago I was doing some backyard hammock testing with my new wbbb 1.1double hammock and Phoenix 3/4 Winter UQ.
One evening, it was quite breezy and as I lay there I started wondering if that breeze was going to suck some of the warmth from my UQ. My calves and neck started to feel a little chilly.
I've been using a HH Exped Asym with the HH Super Shelter since 2006.
So I put the SS silnylon bottom cover on the wbbb and could tell right away this was an improvement in the breeze.
Now I know putting a VB below your insulation is asking for condensation problems so I started looking for a ripstop nylon under cover and could not find one so I contacted Tim and Donna @ (www.2qzqhammockhanger.com) they agreed to make me a custom undercover from 1.1 ripstop nylon that would fit my WBBB and Phoenix Winter UQ combo.
Made from 1.1 ripstop nylon and gathers on the ends with shockcords so you can attach it in the same locations as the UQ shockcords.
The shockcords allow you to adjust the fit so the UQ’s loft does not compress and the sides of the wind block pulls up tight to the sides of the hammock when you are laying in it.
Everything is set up now I just need the weather to corporate. Come on cold breezy nite. lol
