if you click on "forums" at the top of the home page & then click on "general hammock talk" & go to the 3rd page of threads, you'll see a thread titled "what's the lowest known temp you have in your hammock".
that'll give you some ideas on low temps. ...tim

thanks slowhike will check it out ... i slept ( i use this term loosly!) out last night in the hh was really comfortable, all apart from that my feet got cold around 4 ish , but i think it was -16 'c so 3 'f not bad for the first time out , but i think i will need some more insulation on my tootsies ! space blanket maybe , good though really like hangin !!!
