Probably as niche as it gets.
Though is someone using a 90° mat co-sleeping with a baby?
I'd say space-wise it should work with a wide pad, would love to hear first hand experience though.
Thanks!
Crosshammock is a German cottage in the market since several years already.
All handmade in Germany by the owner. Very fair priced if you ask me - note that the tarptent 2.0 was much higher priced...
All right, gotcha!
I got a v1 and a V2, but the V2 seems to have some curve as I don't have the knee problems in there.
Thanks, I think I got the main approach. Though what do you mean by size? How much line is dangling unused and shortened away under the figure 8?
It would be a double line, like in the first...
I was sporting my 2.0 mat for ages, but now finally wanting to change the remaining beads for knots as well.
Did you let the remaining strands just hang? Aren't the loose loops in the way somehow or...
You're sure we're talking about the same model?
You have a link?
Couldn't find anything on the sts page.
They just come in x-small, small, regular and large btw. - and they're all mummy shaped...
I wish they'd make a rectangular version of it.
The other models that come in rectangular are much heavier...
Though that reduces the insulation quite a bit I'm realising.
So unless you're using a high r-value pad such as xtherm it might not do the job...
I had an uberlite pop a chamber in a 90° hammock after very little and gentle use. Though I have heard of chambers popping with those pads also on the ground, so I doubt, it's the hammock. Also as...
Try a 90° hammock - best option with a pad, see also
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/159401-Big-Agnes-Insulated-Air-Mattress
There's also crosshammock and hammocktent as 90° options.
Much lighter and was less gimmicky than the amock.
Birth high quality, handmade euro options with shipping overseas.
The German hammock Cottage Crosshammock is having a 10% black Friday deal till Monday 2nd. AFAIK the first time there's a rebate on their handmade in Germany hammocks.

Correct, I'm not having a sleeve. Friends of mine had the sleeve version and gave up I on the sleeve, putting the mat inside the hammock, just as I'm doing it without the sleeve. Can't call out any...
Well, sure biting even more into the sleeve then just the pad sure helps filling out up, but - do you have enough stuff with you to fill such a long sleeve? I don't. Plus that's just fighting an...
You'll never get the same insulation performance with the pad in the sleeve than on the hammock, wouldn't bother, there will always be cold bridges.
Plus - I'd challenge that more thickness = more...
Don't get why you link thickness to insulation - because it's in the pad sleeve and not worth enough contact to the hammock?
Put the mat right into the hammock, that's what I'm doing wonder years as...
Nah, an airmat in a hammock is even worse than on ground. But there are many mats out there with much better weight/insulation ratio. They're more expensive, but with tar's lifetime warranty, picking...
I noticed that air pads (also insulated) get cold much quicker than on ground. I guess that's because of the air circulating underneath. I'd have to go for a much higher R value for the same...
Ugh, weight is a bummer sadly.
Also a pad user, also in a 90° hammocktent, also noticing condensation, though on a bothersome yet not concerning level.
The zlite like uneven surface of alike pads was a plus as the condensation...
The big Agnes sadly has a gal in insulation right in the middle, the are plenty of threads hating this pad out there.
Sea to summit has the new etherlight which sounds promising and also mw sizes,...
Using both, a z-lite style pad where it's more prominent and an uberlite where it's easier to stretch the hammock back out.
Not a fan of the balloon feeling on an inflatable though. Kills the right...
Update on my plastic beads that... Surprisingly snapped :sleep:
Still happy with the Lego heads, bit I'd like something smaller to adjust more detailed.
The only thing I really dislike with...
Might happen above treeline - happy to have a plan B wie extra gear or weight punishment.
I'm not using them either, though have moved on to a double layer 60D tree hugger and a chain of 2mm Dyneema loops. Hammock is connected to it with soft shackles. Light and easy to work with, metal...
As I just posted that in another thread - my hammocktent is my bug inner on ground to my tarp that can also be set up as half Pyramide with beak or a-frame in case I'm staying above tree...
Can be done with a hammocktent 90° as wellhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180915/10566543464c05f94d0de9c90313e022.jpg
So far, the Lego heads and tie zips are working well, one of the pearls broke, though the others are holding up well as well.
What I don't like so much is the hammock crumpling under the pad where...
No idea what you're talking about - I'm looking for a full length pad as stated above.
No, 90°.
The point to have a pad is to have a ground option.
My tarp works both ways, hammock is my bug inner on ground. Minimal weight punishment for ground and tree option.
The point of...
Hi there,
I'm searching for the perfect inflatable pad for me since forever which sends to be non existent by now.
Rectangle
Lightweight
Insulation for 3 seasons minimum
Ideally wide, not...
Why's it important to know where the bottom is? I just put them wherever, did I miss something?
Got some grim pirates on as well - harrrrr ;)
No idea about the material though. Somewhat plastic,...
Nother kind of awesomehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180819/f948067d3546084162b4257809b38114.jpg
I went ahead tinkering a bit today. Used drilled Lego heads, don't know where around here I read about it.
Still needs some fine tuning, but I like it.
Why's the marking important, didn't quite get...
Not sure either, highly recommended though, already tried them and met the maker - putting real passion into his products!
Sure, if it's on an independent ridgeline, the issue doesn't exist.
Was talking about the tarp being attached to the hammock straps. Anything else that can be done?
Just finished my 3*2m for ground and 90°
How do you deal with the whole setup selling further down once you sit inside?
When the tarp is connected to the hammock, it becomes a bit saggy - even...
Long time ago, bit how did you use the beads - you got a picture?
Went with little glove hooks on the first loops and used additional Kam snaps in the middle.
Oh dear - thank you for bearing with me!
Got a new phone with autocorrect working different than on my old one. Just corrected the almost unreadable mess.
Though you assumed correctly, I was...
Hi guys,
Anyone has one of the models that can be used as a bivy on ground? Could you show us a picture of how the loops for the stakes/wire are sewn onto the corners?
I have one without and...
What kind of stand is that? And what's the weight? Do I see correctly that it makes use of trekking poles?

Could you point is to the original design?
Thanks
I love exped for its MW sizes, yet the lifetime warranty of thermarest is too tempting. You could shorten the pad, there are tutorials out there.
Which tube orientation would you recommend without...
I'm just praying that they'll be making an XLite maxx as well!
A friend is sleeping in a regular one, content but without further benchmark to compare to.
Personally, I'm hoping the MAX becomes a success so they might make an Xlite MAX which is what I'd go for.
Is there a tutorial for DIY skins?
