I have use an NeoAir in my HH without any real problems...just the usual jockeying around with a pad in the hammock. It kept me plenty warm in the mid 40s.

R values are based off of the following
To remain thermally neutral at the following temps the corresponding r values must be used with a proper EN rated bag and a light baselayer.
0 degrees=7.0r
10 degrees=6.0r
20 degrees=5.0r
30 degrees=4.0r
40 degrees=3.0r
50 degrees=2.0r
As you can see its about a 10 degree difference per 1.0 of rvalue.
Keep in mind that is thermally neutral if a 4.0r pad is used with a 30 degree EN rated bag wearing a light baselayer for example.
You can sway the numbers in either direction based off a few variables such as having a lower rated bag, or wearing more layers or heavier layers etc. Or using a higher r value pad and a higher rated bag. A tent can also add about 5-10 degrees to the equation
