Congrats!

I will be taking mine on a two day hike this weekend.

Since my wife has been out of town I have been testing it out at night by shutting off the heat, opening all the windows in our place and sleeping in the Stealth. The temp has gotten down into the high 40's in the bedroom by morning and the stealth has been keeping me a little too warm!

Good idea...but slightly off target.... When my wife is out of town I hang the hammock and quilts in the back yard and sleep out every night.... C'mon, this is a hammock forum

Do you have a hammock stand in your house? If not, it dont count.

No backyard or trees . If the local state park wasn't still under water from the Nor' Easter I would've spent the night there.

Our apartment has already been taken over by hiking and biking gear leaving no room for a hammock stand. I thought about setting up hooks to hang hammocks from, but since we live in a 200 year old house that has had termite issues, the results could be painful!

I used me Stealth last night (in my hammock this time). Temps dropped down to the low 40s and I was warm on top. I do not think I had my Nest set up correctly because the back back of my claves we cold. I've used the Nest around these temps before without this problem so I am chalking it up to user error.

The stealth was way more insulation than I needed.
I noticed a slight phenomenon the past couple of weekends. When using my new insulated hammock, my bodyheat seems to pass into the down beneath me, but after a while the heat radiates upwards, trapped by the bugnet. At this point I don't really need a top cover. Does everyone else experience this?

Also, on this trip I only carried thermals, beanie and a windshirt for backup clothing, as I counted on using the stealth for camp insulation if required. I normally pack a fleece jacket as a backup, incase my sleeping gear is soaked or something. Does anyone feel that removing this backup clothing significantly reduces the safety margain?

That's basically the hammock sock/pod effect, just to a lesser degree - the bugnet should be at least somewhat more breathable than DWR. Part of the reason I went away from my HH - with the bugnet trapping that heat it was WAY too hot in the summer.
