Newly acquired nx-250

[barchetta]

DemostiX (I haven't seen any posts for awhile, knowledgeable fellow, hope all is well) would occasionally point out other hammocks that add a separate bug net, severe weather cocoon, and a gear shelf are comparable in weight and cost; if not more expensive and heavy.

Like signguy and barchetta said the best value doesn't mean the cheapst. Most of my trips have been to high lake fly fishing destinations above 4000 feet in the Pacific Northwet Cascades and Olympic mountains. All of these trips have included being "in the clouds" with mist blowing sideways, and/or periods of heavy rain and low temps in the 40s, even in early August. I am soooo thankful for the weathershield warmth and protection, the spreader poles for the roominess, the large 10'x10.5' Vertex tarp, and the pockets underneath the hammock (but within the down underquilt) to stow my day clothes; keeping them toasty warm to put on in the morning. It all works together to make a large oasis of cleverly thought out space protected from the elements.

Do you find that using the pockets for clothes and such with a quilt leaves you with air gaps?

from a previous post in the Clark NX 250 and a down UQ thread. I see no gaps in the pics and have no cold spots.

Here are a couple of pics of my hammock and the underquilt... note how high the quilt comes up on the side (with clothes in the pockets) and the snug side to side seal. Gosh it's so nice to lay down in and just be enveloped in cozy luxurious warmth.
