I'm not only new to hammocks, but I want to try and make my own UQ. Besides Climate Shield, what are some of the other Synthetic Insulations and how do I calculate the insulating value? Example, if the synthetic is 6oz/sq yd, what would the temperature rating range be?

Second question, Should the synthetic insulation be baffled or just attached by the outside hem of the UQ?

My easiest idea is to hang a foam pad in a "pillow case-like" bag under my hammock so I'm not adjusting or falling off of it when in use. Does this work or am I better off with the pad inside the hammock?

Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated.
