Hi all,
I have recently taken my first trip with my first hammock and, though it was not as flat as I thought, I found loads of advantages and comfort.
The hammock is a HH Explorer Deluxe Asym Zip.
Since it was the first outing, I decided to wait with the investment for a UQ and I instead used my Exped Downmat 7 Deluxe (extra wide and long, I am 188cm/6'2'') enflated about 50% to keep it soft.
Right forget the mat. It keeps on turning and aligning with the hammock rather than holding the diagonal position. Eventually I decided to throw it out and sleep without. Being the temp about 8*C (45F) I slept really well with no bottom insulation just by lowering the tarp on the leeward side.
Now it is time for the big investment.
The temperature will range between 5*C(40F) and -20*C(0F), but mostly around -10*C(14F).
I would like a full length, down.
Hammock Gear Incubator 20 looks great, possibly Incubator 0 could be great - though what if it happens to be a little warmer?
Alternatively UK Hammock UQ Argon 90 seems a very good option.
In your experience, how do they fit my hammock? Other good option? (DYI is not an option since I struggle sewing a button)
Consider that US produced have a heavy inport tax + VAT adjustment in Sweden where I live, therefore UK hammock has a big advantage.
Thanks in advance for the help! It is a big investment, but I want to get it right, since I spend out about 40nights a year on average.
