    But I am still confused ( as is often the case!). In 1st set of the pics it looks like one of you is using a standard HHSS, while another looks like an IX UQ. In the second it looks quite different. One looks like an HH OCF pad outside, then an UQ (is that the DD TQ?) and then a space blanket. Is that right?

    Was the SS used on a WBBB?

    If you don't mind, could you specify exactlt what you used on night one when there was no condensation whatsoever, and what the other set up was that had condensation? For those of us who are slow on the uptake!

    For example, is the set up in 1st set of pics that looks like a SS, was that(from inside out): 1:a HH hammock
    2:a space blanket
    3:OCF HH pad
    4: HHSS silnylon undercover(all of the above is just my standard basic HHSS set up)
    5:something else?

    Was the HHSS the one with the condensation on the 1st night? Did the one without condensation use some sort of sock?

    Have you ever used the HHSS Overcover?

    Thanks in advance

    On both overnight outings I used the same setup.

    From inside out.

    1) WBBB with BBO
    2) Space blanket
    3) DD UQ
    4) HH SS (foam pad and silnylon undercover)


    Bomber is the one using an IX UQ from MacEntyre. He had condensation on his sleeping bag from his breathing. Not so in my setup since I used the BBO and that brought the temperature inside the hammock up above dew point.


    I have never used the HH over cover. It is not breathable, only has a vent hole, thus will have condensation problems.


    Hope that clarifies the matters at hand.


    PS: It is the space blanket just under you that acts as a vapour barrier and thus keeps your hammock sock dry.

    Yes, thanks Blazeaway! Somehow I missed the BBO part. That would explain the expectation for the IX sock and no condensation.

    So, looks like you used the HH SS with a WBBB? Very interesting!

    Works great. Just adjusted the shock cords at tiny bit. And only used one (of two) tie point at the ends when setting it on the hammock.

    Will you replace the HH SS UnderCover with the Molly Mac Gear IX Sock without SEEP, or will you use them together?

    I expect to use the “Molly Mac Gear IX Sock without SEEP” with a “Winter Incubator” from Hammock Gear, but in certain weather conditions it could be a good idea to use it with HH SS.

    Great report ... Interesting how you hung the pad at the bottom of your UQ.

    Thanks.

    Had I hung the pad directly under the hammock it would be difficult to reposition the DD UQ once inside the hammock due to friction in the foam. Normally I fix the pad to the DD UQ though this time I had not done that. It just hung underneath.
