I'm a woman in my 60s too. I camped for years with a HH Backpacker Asym, tried using sleeping pads for insulation (awkward...felt like a sack of kittens trying to get out of the sack, when trying to get it lined up under me) then got the JRB Nest underquilt, and loved that. I like the bottom-entry in the hammock. Maybe it's because it's what I started with and i like having no zippers to deal with. After i found this forum and started doing research, I've got the bug and am making DIY stuff... I hope to keep hammock camping well into retirement, but would have been less motivated to keep up camping if I'd had to tent...never too old..
