    Hudson River TQ Temps?

    Hey! I got my HRTQ and looks terrific. Great quality ... as I expected.

    My query is ...... to those who own one, what is the lowest temp that you have slept out in the hammock in one?
    I am hoping for 20º. Is that about right or would 30º be more realistic?
    I thankee,

    I've been in the teens with my No Sniveler (same quilt + headhole). Was cool, but not cold.

    MY HR TQ with my Snugfit UQ was comfy in the 20's. Last year at Mt Rogers when it was 8-11° I was fine, but I had earlier added 3oz of down to it for insurance. Also turned it inside out so the black side was out.

    So the 3ozs of down helped, huh? And may I ask ... what did the black do on the outside. Did that make a difference?
    Thanks for your answers.

    I understand the HR has 2.5 inches of loft. What temp is that considered good for? of course not to mention all the other factors.

    It's most likely warmer than the go lite 20, right?

    anyone know the fill weight of the HR?
