I've got a Hammock Gear Burrow I typically use for a top quilt. Seems reasonably wide through the shoulders...... I'm hoping it will work to help keep the shoulders/side warm while using a pad.

Thanks for the information.
I've got a ridgerest and a couple of 25" inflatable pads in my gear closet. Sounds like those will be good starting points for some experimentation without having to...

In anticipation of receiving my recently ordered RR DL, I'm contemplating using a pad. While I'm sure the prevailing opinion is to use an UQ, I would appreciate suggestions for recommended pads with...

Are you referring to the velcro I added to help keep the pads "organized?"

Velcro tabs at bottom of pad (I added these):
These are small maybe 1.5" x 1/2" on each corner of the 6 pads that get...

I have too much gear that is not getting enough attention.

Traveler 1.7DL with adjustable straps - $65
Hung indoors twice.
Perfect condition.


WB Bug Net - $60

You will love it. Its the only piece of gear I own that is in "protected" status.

Looks like another project to add to the list!

I have not been able to get my z-liner to 0C/32F without supplemental gear.

Anyone have experience with the Talon Ridgeline? Looks like it has several "hooks" that can be placed along the ridgeline and has a storage sack that can be hung from strategically placed hooks....

Just wondering if anyone near the Charlotte area has a Switchback or Light Hiker..... I would love to see one if possible.

Thanks everyone for the information...

So far it sounds like the 1.9DL would be overkill for me and unless there is a significant advantage in comfort for the 1.9DL, might as well go with one of...

I like the double zipper design as well.
I'm about 5-8, 180# so I think any of switchback versions would work...
Does the 1.1 fabric feels different than the 1.9 - or does the DL provides a...

After reading all the good things about the switchback, I have convinced myself that I must get one. The easy part was deciding I want one. The hard part is which one. I am paralyzed with...

Also with the z-liner you still have access to the pockets of the Clark for storing a few items. I generally don't bother with trying to access the pockets when using an UQ. Would probably upset...

I would highly recommend getting a good quality underquilt for either hammock.

The pockets on the clark are quit "baggy" and create a relatively dead air mass below the hammock. As the air moves...

I don't think connecting the bottom corners of the pads helped significantly. The pads are significantly longer than the pocket depth so attaching the bottom corners does not help keep the...

I second the warmth and weight of down is hard to beat and is the standard by which all insulation tends to be measured. Hard to go wrong with a down underquilt.

That being said I haven't...

Generally, gaps between any underquilt and the bottom of the hammock potentially lead to heat loss, cold spots, etc. I think one of the challenges with the z-liner is that it essentially comprises...

Thanks for the tip on the opening in the corners of the pockets. The problem I've had with the z-liner is keeping each of the pads "organized." Seems like the corners of the pads tend to creep away...

I have the NX-250 and z-liner. The z-liner has a foot section that is attached around by velcro around the foot section of the hammock. It a bit tricky to get the foot section lined up correctly...
