Let's talk hot and humid hammockery.

[weaver2469]

I have tried sleeping in a hammock in dead, still, humid air and was miserable. I have pretty much eliminated summer camping because of it. However, I am interested to see if anyone has tried Duluth Trading Company's Armichillo clothing. The claim is that the fabric has something embedded in it that makes you cool. I haven't tried it, but am a big fan of Duluth Trading company stuff, so I might be willing to give their marketing claims some benefit of the doubt.

I did upgrade my fan set up to a USB fan and a Anker battery pack. Works for several days instead of putting a new set of batteries every night......

Love this idea. I carry a quality backup battery so powering a usb fan is a no brainer!!

Well, right from the top, bug nets are hot. Simply impossible to be comfortable in hot weather with a net. I use permethrin liberally, on everything.

A single layer hammock is cooler than a double. If you need a little something under you, an uqp is often enough.
For a top cover, I use a cut down microfiber sheet from WM.

Ok, I'm going to head to the local Asian grocery store to ask if they carry this. Googled it and apparently people love this stuff. Old dog = me, this = new trick
