HH Underpad and DL?

Hi there,

I'm a newbie and going insane trying to pin point what I want to buy exactly. So in doing so, I need to get some questions answered, if you don't mind.

I was wondering if the HH Underpad would fit into a simple DL hammock. Could I get away with this do you think? Has anyone tried?

I was thinking they pack pretty small for what it is and is light too, so if I could put it in the DL I could save myself some money until I can afford an UQ. this could determine a lot of things... I think. :confused:

Thanks for reading! :)

sort of maybe. If it fit you could try hanging a Hennessy underpad and cover under a different hammock. The problem would be if the shape was right for that hammock.

The reason most folks talk about a double layer hammock for use with a pad is that a Closed Cell Foam pad does not compress much so a thin one can be slid in between the two layers and still provide good insulation. Hennessy uses an open cell foam pad to provide the loft similar to a down or fiber fill hammock and an over cover to block the wind that would blow through. That kind of pad would collapse flat in between layers of a DL hammock.

The good news is that a CCF pad is relatively low in cost and have many uses. ;-)

Ah. Thanks for that nothermark. That makes total sense. So without the overcover the wind would blow through, and the benefit would be negated then again, eh?

Well, yes. It is a good thing those CCF pad are cheap. I'm going to have to think some more....

Thanks again!

For me in a WBBB DL 1.1 I am good with a pad up to around 60 degrees give or take 5d.When it hit the upper 50s and I put the 40 d under quilt on .Nothing wrong with a pad with a DL if if works for you.

That would mean it would take me to now, in my neck of the woods, if I'm the same kind of sleeper as you (I'm a very cold sleeper), but not beyond into fall at all. Maybe my investment for an underquilt will have to come sooner rather than later?

Good to know. :)
