I see all kinds of pads for sale at REI, Academy, online, etc. and I am confused about the differences between them. There seem to be several lines of Thermarest pads whose prices are all over the map.
I live in Austin, TX and it never gets very cold here, but it gets really hot and humid during the summers. Last Saturday, I did a test hang in my backyard and it got down in the low fifties (unseasonably cold) and I had to go into the house for a couple of blankets and a foam pad (Coleman, I think) that we've had forever. Once I had the pad, it was warm enough, but it was awfully big for the inside of the hammock. Will a pad be necessary on sultry summer nights? Will I need a fan to stay cool? If so, what kind?
Thanks,
Rob
