I almost bought a HH overcover ($39.95) but I made one that works great. I had an old green nylon poncho that needed washing. When I took it out of the wash I saw that the waterproof coating was coming off ( wife was SO happy about that). I washed it in hot water 2 more times and almost all of this coating came off. I now had a breathable fabric. I then cut the hood off and tied a corner to the 2 ends of my HH Explorer Deluxe, right where the fabric is tied to the rope. I then ran the elastic side cords through the other 2 corner grommets of the poncho. The poncho now covered the top of the hammock and the hole left by removing the hood provided a breathing hole just like the HH one. I slept in it that night when it was in the 30's here in Florida...I was much warmer than the previous cold night, really stopped the wind from entering...and it cost and weighs next to nothing. By removing the waterproof coating it really removes most of the weight. Give it a try.
