I found this link at thru-hiker and wondered how it might turn out making a insulated hammock. I thought about 2 yards of the 5.0 oz on bottom, and then making the top quilt maybe 48" X 2 yards. The top quilt I would tack quilt so not to compress, but the bottom of the hammock I would only sew the ends with a #9 needle, and put the backstiches on the unused sides. Another thought might to use crossgrain. At first I was worried that the bottom might bunch up on the ends but my hammocks are usually 10.5' and I don't think the bunching would be a problem after I stretched out.
Has anyone used Climashield before? Is there any flaws in my plan? I thought this would be a lot easier to work with than down, and $56 for 4 yards isn't bad either.
