Not sure if this is what you mean but:
- HHSS = Hennessy Hammock Super Shelter: http://hennessyhammock.com/collections/insulation
- AHE/KAQ = Arrow Head Equipment/Kick *** Quilt: http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/s...ic_Quilts.html
- UGQ = Underground Quilts: http://www.undergroundquilts.com/
- UQ = Under Quilt
- TQ = Top Quilt

Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men.

What a great question, one I wished I had asked! I have an Explorer UL and based on it being a Hennessy specific product, I went for the HHSS. It mates well with the hammock but is a bit of work to take on and off. The real test was early spring where I was a bit disappointed with the ability of the system to keep me comfortably warm in temps in the 40's. There were spots that kept getting consistently cooled during the night so I was constantly adjusting. I will agree with the others that packing it can be a chore!
I have since purchased an Incubator 20* from Hammock Gear. I love this piece of gear and can't wait for some colder temps. I have used it to the 50's and and can't say enough good things about weight, ease of use, comfort, and cool looks!
I have actually cross pollinated the two and have used the Hennessy under cover with the quilt in wet weather. I haven't noticed any condensation yet but will keep an eye out.

That was my first concern, but my experience is that it has not been compromised.
+1 more for the AHE Potomac. I chose the 3 season and it has worked well for southern winters with my Troop.
Not the most compact, but my hammock, superfly and Potomac UQ is still lighter and considerably compact than a tent.

Another +1 for the Potomac here. Having used it myself I could never imagine a better UQ. And I really want to give all praise to Paul at Arrowhead for a customer service you will have to look long and hard to find a match for, me being an overseas customer and as such not his key customer group and all. Couldn't in any way be happier with the company nor the product I recieved!
Hi Zeppo,
I use the orange reflective lawson cord for the most part.
6 feet for each of the corners with about 8 inches loop of shock cord as a tensioner
3 feet for each of the doors with a 20 inch loop of shock cord. attached a tarp door hook to the loop of shock cord. tried lawson cord at first but it is too wide for the door hooks so am now using 1.7mm zingit.
did have 12 foot for each of the tieouts until last week when I transitioned to the no sew poles. using 4 8inch dogbones and working great.
35 foot of zingit for a CRL
all supplies from dutch
works great with lots of info from this forum

Just got back from a weekender and am reminded yet again how great the HHSS is. With overnights down to 5C I didn't feel the slightest bit of chill. As Roche said, there's always a little condensation, but never so much to be a concern. I just hung the pad up when I got home a couple hours ago and it's already fully dry.
The Potomac looks likes a great option for a bottom entry hammock. But I've never once regretted the Super Shelter.
