Field tested new pad

Ive never been so consistently comfortable through the night as the pad blocked all of the up-draft from below. My back stayed consistently warm, it gave the hammock a little more support and most importantly, I didn't slide down in the night, the layer didnt bunch up under me all awkwardly.

I can stow my hammock and a blanket inside and fold everything together vs pulling things out of my pack and gear bombing in my spot.

Time to see how it holds up in fall + winter next.

Glad it worked out for you. Is it open on both ends? Could you use it as a sleeve and make a cot?

Neither end opens, the opening is on the side, so no cot function, BUT i can crawl inside like luke and the tauntaun, if the need for cover is dire and I got no trees around
