The bottom will have a pocket under the pad that I can insert clothing etc if I need more insulation. I could insert some Climashield XP in the bottom pocket to have a fully insulated hammock. I found out a cool thing too, I can divide the bottom pocket into two sections and use the smaller section to make its own stuff sack similar to how many jackets store in thier own pocket.
