The original post asked about placing the Reflectx between the UQ and hammock. There was a brief mention about placing it outside of the UQ with a UQP. But that post preceded the engineers' replies. My understanding from the reading is that condensation will occur and water will pool up at the low points.
Taking the mylar suit example of small holes hilt in to allow water vapor a path to escape, and other's observations that partial pads present minimal problems with condensation, what if you constructed a Relectx pad with pores or holes at potential low points buy the butt and shoulders to allow condensation to drip out? A full pad with holes would be easier to keep in place than a partial pad.
A lighter version would be to add a space blanket to an UPQ. It would lack the extra insulation from the bubble wrap but would be easier to manage. Or with the silver lined material Columbia is using (although I suspect that may not be available).
BTW, I have a synthetic Potomac UQ. It would still suffer from getting wet but would retain much of it's insulate properties, mores than down under similar conditions, correct?
