Hmmmm these are good questions. So HG only has 10D and 15D specs, for their custom premium quilts. They basically got rid of their DWR in all quilts, and created the 'new' 9500FP

Yes HG does have the weight calculator and all of their bags are custom to save weight if you need smaller bags like myself.
Hello friends! I am down the rabbit hole of TQ/UQ for specs I currently own two sets of HG quilts (TQ in 850fp DWR in BOTH 20* short & wide and 40* with 1 oz. overstuff in short) and (UQ in 850fp DWR...
Hammock Gear's Premium Topquilt with the following specs:
Premium 850 Down Burrow Topquilt
Length: Short (intended for heights 5'2"-5'7")
Width: Wide 55"- to be able to use with a ground pad...
I think it would also depend on what vendor you are looking at. For example, Hammock Gear lists under their FAQ page that they switched their temperature ratings (not sure when exactly) for the...
Prussiks? Do you have a photo of it all strung up?
Good point! I will consider that for sure!
For new people to this thread- the Klymit brand itself- a good brand. Although some of their non-insulated pads are more prone to "popping/leaking air" after only a few uses. While their customer...
What temps are you looking at being in this fall/wainter?
Sorry, non-mac user here! Just the old school plain keyboard with the only shortcuts in my bank such as copy & paste
It's interesting that with HUG-type nets the bugs don't seem to get through even if there's a bit of a gap at the bottom... they're 'programmed' to attack from the top and side and don't 'think' to...
Hi there Jade- actually my keyboard does not have the degrees symbol, hence the *, which you assumed incorrectly that I have one on my keyboard. The * means the degree symbol.
I thought it was as well! I looked at my old order slip (from Jan of 2021) and saw the selection options which is why I made this post! Only to see that it is indeed, only the camo options.
So...
I know this an old thread- but this is SO TRUE! When camping with a group I will usually place my hammock at the edge of the woods (they all tent camp still) in a way so that the long side o f my...
As a nurse, I am intrigued as what bottle they had you use in the hospital!
Haha what are the specs of that burrow? I am looking to upgrade to the 40* burrow in the 950 line! Hammock Gear now makes a little ball of down that is perfectly sized to fit that gap for people who...
why 7D? The weight? The sturdiness?
It truly takes hanging to an entire new level!
Mine is a play off how people *think* my name is pronounced which in reality is incorrect, combined with a frequent misspelling of my name :D
Dutch offers a hammock with a similar net but it is permanently attached to the hammock.[/QUOTE]
Thanks Tom! Have you tried this yourself, or is this just something that you have seen? This does...
For those of you with the phoneix & the incubator- how much length does the phoenix give you? I am about 5'4" and use the hummingbird single+ hammock for perspective. I have a 20* 850 fill HG...
Do you hang this above you in a gear hanger from your ridgeline? Photos?
Wow! Did it cause condensation to form on anything? Was it straight boiling water or near boiling? Plastic bottle or metal water bottle? This sounds so promising!
I have a 12x12ish chill gorilla tarp. Let me tell you- this was not a cheaply made tarp! While being on the heavier side, it's a little larger than a nalgene water bottle, this thing had so many tie...
I would be concerned about safety, as in caught in a bag during a fire and can't get out, and the nylon now joining your skin in one layer... I would not use propane, or any kind of flame. For light...
So now my question is- where do you, suspend it? Do you hang this from your ridgeline? Or would that cause excess sag?
Yes it is, it hangs at the bottom edge of one side of the tarp in the middle. It was a pleasant surprise, but it is a tight squeeze if it is wet. I am looking into the sleeve options that other...
I wish the private messaging/inbox for private messages was set more up like a private chat- I don't like how I can't see the conversation, as it is, a conversation, or an email thread. Having to...
Hmmm yes agreed with the other posters- the baffles on the 0* should be taller for the 0* than the 20*. I have the 20* topquilt myself and it looks to be about the same as the one that you posted on...
Hey hangers!
So I am placing a new order for a hammock gear topquilt in order to change my temperature rating from a 20* to either a 30 or 40* to help with weight savings & a more realistic...
Hi there! I do not have the hummingbird pelican BUT I do have the hummingbird heron which is the same material as the pelican. Previously I used a chill gorilla 12x12ish tarp. It rolled up to a size...
The spousal mandate, gotta love it! As a COVID ICU nurse, we in healthcare appreciate the effort to protect others from COVID! Do you have instructions yet on how you made that stand?
Do you have a ridgeline on your hammock? If so, many different hammock brands, I'm thinking of Hammock Gear specifically, make little gear nets/organizers that you can hang from your ridgeline that...
What about hummingbird's ultralight whoopie straps? How do these compare in long lasting strength?
Sorry for the late reply! How heavy was our pack with the slightly extra weight from the ground set up? Since you are experienced with thru hikes I am assuming you are pretty great at counting all of...
Yes I was THANK YOU! I have a hummingbird silpoly tarp that came in this teeny tiny "stuff sack" that a dry tarp can barlely fit into. The sack is made of the same material as the tarp. I was...
I have a 20* set from HG for TQ and UQ but want to save a bit on size in my pack. I'm debating if I should make the jump to the 30* top quilt, or the 40* topquilt. I am so undecided!
What is the difference between the 10D and 20D? I am looking to upgrade my HG TQ with a lighter temp and to their 950 line but forgot about the question of the material
I was wondering the SAME THING for my 850 premium UQ/TQ. I wanted waterproof stuff & compression sacks for mine so I purchased sea to summit ultrasil waterproof sack. To determine the size I added...
WOW! Just WOW!!!! WHY did I wait so long to make this purchase?!?! Money, but aside from that, I wanted to avoid accumulating too much gear and then not having the space for it all!
I purcahsed...
For drip lines- how many do you do per ridgeline/ hammock strap? Do you do one per line? Or do you do several?
Hello there hangers!
Has anyone used the HG mesh tarp sleeve? I use a hummingbird silpoly tarp, used it once and did get caught in the rain so airing it out on subsequent nights resulted in me...
WHAT is a HUG net?! I have not seen these marketed ANYWHERE and I would like to save the space of the hummingbird net I just purchased to go with my hummingbird single+. Granted in warmer locales my...
For all the newer people here, and newer people to hanging, I was intimidated by whoopie slings for a while! I was used to using the ENO atlas/atlas XL and liked the daisy chain approach as it was...
I got into hanging when I pbserved many friends hanging while we were studying in Tanzania, East Africa and I was jealous of laying a blanket on the thorny grass as they got to take advantage of the...
New to the colder temp hammocking... What is a hammock sock, and this privacy tube looks AMAZING! SO, what and where can I look for this?
What denier insulation situation do you have going for you?
Thanks OltrailDog. I have debated on this as well, since I usually sleep under a tarp, and I have a gear hammock that I could also transition with the correct kind of mat/bed situation
I will have a lagotto romagnolo (Italian water & truffle dog) which full size will be somewhere from 25-45 pounds, hopefully on the lighter end of that spectrum. I'm hoping with training &...
Do they ever run sales? I see that they do sometimes sell imperfect ones
