What clothing do you wear when you sleep in your hammock in the woods

I like to hibernate for 9-11hrs in the winter, so burning a few holes in the snow throughout the night is in inevitable even at 38 years old. Just need to not think about it; do it and get back in the hammock asap.

What down vest are you wearing, and how do you like it? Im wanting to ditch the jacket and just go with a vest.

I've got a cheapie $20 one from Costco that has held up fine over the years. 2 of my hiking buddies saw mine so I had pick them up for them. Down vest is a great addition to my kit and looking back at past trips, I've gotten a ton of use out of it.

When backpacking I wear my hiking pants, clean socks, clean shirt, and a light fleece zip hoodie by terramar. The hoodie zips up tight so it does not come off or move around like a hat does and if its really cold I add a balaclava to my head and maybe another layer to my core. When car camping I'll bring thermal underwear but still wear the hoodie. I love that thing.

naked, hey you asked

I like the idea of a vest. I will give my down or fleece vest a try this year.

Cotton or silk jammies and light ankle socks. Any hard/wet day paddling or hiking can be forgiven/forgotten once is clean bed clothes in a warm hammock. It is easier to wash/clean clothes then it is down. And I don't like nylon against my skin. For me, night clothes are worth the weight.

+1 on the silk PJs - treated with permethrin to slow down the mosquitoes when I have to venture out from the bug net

Just my skin. Down OQ will reflect the heat of my body and I stay snug and warm. Only drawback is getting out of the quilt to go to the bathroom. Burrr.

You're just not setting up in a remote enough location, lol
