Hello,
Was just wondering what do you think is a good bottom temperature range for 1/2 " ccf foam in a hammock? I know everyone is different. Just a ballpark.
Thanks so much and happy trails.
Earplug.

With my setup with a 48" wide piece of ccf, I think I would be happy taking this to -6 to -8 deg c.
When its bitter cold, I often use 3 x 3/8 ccf.
I am a warm sleeper though.
About 95% of the year in TN. Should take you to 30's, some people into the 20's, a select few even lower would be my guess. A lot has to do with the size and how much it wraps the torso area.
Hello,
Is it really hard to pack away the 48" piece? I usually roll my 20" pad up into a cylinder and place into pack. Then filling the inside with gear.

The link above is to a product that allows you to get the coverage with pads without a continuous 48" pad.
You can make your own easily to customize to your setup
BTW at the bottom of the page on the link above a great temp range chart for pads
-6 to-8 ? Oh my God , you are a warm sleeper.. I bought the different style walmart just started using.. It is more like a segmented styrofoam? 26in. wide.. Probably would
go to mid 30s with it.. with a light sleeping bag.. I'm new to this and so far 39f is the coldest I have experienced so far..
degrees C, not F.
about 18-20 degrees F.
Its like carring a tree trunk. I strap it to the bottom of my pack. I use 2 pads side by side and a third down the centre to cover the gap between the first two pads. This is only in really cold weather though-one ccf pad width leaves me with very cold shoulders.Is it really hard to pack away the 48" piece?

It may be bulky, but it only weighs 330 g for the three mats and its not too bad to sleep on on the ground, when I have to. I think this compares favourably with an UQ for my use.
I did a 10 F hang this year not far from my van and used 3 windscreen shields and 3 mats. I was so warm, I had to throw my quilt off.

Hi -
I recently combined 1/2" thick and 1/4" think Volara pads for temperature at 18 F and the limitation that night appeared to be my sleeping bag (rated at 30F). See details here:
