But to take this a step further, wouldn't it be cheaper to simply make a perfect replica, dimension-wise, of your hammock (in my case, a GT Nano), out of Silnylon 1.1? Another GT Nano runs $60, but since the 2nd hammock would not be load bearing (other than insulation), you could instead buy ~10 feet of 1.1 Silnylon for only about $25 with shipping from some places. It would still only weigh about 6 ounces, and I would have to imagine it would be a pretty simple cut and stitch job.
You could then purchase 3 layers of 2 yards of Insultex or 2 yards of 5 ounce Primaloft (not sure if that would have equivalent R value)
Let me know if my logic is flawed somewhere, i'm pretty new to all this stuff!
