I took a look at your pictures (great looking rig by the way
) Did you have on all the coats that are laying under plus the bag that is in the stuff sack? Could you give us some information about what was overtop of you. I am wondering if maybe you actually start perspiring. Maybe it isn't condensation but instead it is actually sweat.
I'm not sure what kind of condensation it is, but I'd bet some of it is sweat. I was pretty warm when I first got into the hammock. I had on some pretty warm layers too. However, what surprised me was that the condensation made it down to the undercover when I used the spaceblanket. I thought I had the spaceblanket set up pretty well where it was covering all of my underside, but maybe not.
That is just a thought, I will await the Master BillyBob and his reply.
On a side note, how does the jarbridge fit under the pad but inside the undercover. It sure looks like it works well. I have a HHSS and love it, I have a new underquilt and have been wondering if it would work layered as you have done it or if I needed to hang it under everything if needed.
The Jarbidge works pretty well like this. It helps holds the ocf pad up to your body and adds insulation up a little higher on the sides. The fit inside the undercover is just fine. However, with my condensation issues I would probably balk at putting in a down-stuffed underquilt and stick with synthetic.
Thanks for the pics and I hope we figure this one out. It seems the HHSS works real well but once in a while produces moisture.
Glad you enjoyed the pics. I think this current setup was about at its lower temperature range for me - I could maybe get down to 15*F and avoid shivering. In regards to usefulness, this is fine because I don't think I would ever intend to camp in colder weather than this. But in my mind, I would still like to be able to be comfortable at lower temperatures. In order for that to happen, I would basically have to upgrade everything including my clothes.
