    Sheltowee Boone Zip 20

    I recently purchased a Sheltowee Boone zip 20 and had a chance to try it out briefly. The outdoor temperature was 26°, I had on some down socks and a down jacket and was very toasty. I'm very impressed with this build, the fit and finish of this product is really good. To my knowledge it's the only insulated hammock that you can vent. Here are some pictures, i'm looking forward to trying it out on some overnights.

    I love my Boone 20 degree. Now I wish I had a netted version. Alex does great work.

    You look natural in a hammock.
    Glad you are happy and warm...that is your happy face, right?
    We shall meet in the Gorge again sometime.

    Man.. l really like the Sheltowee Boone zip, emailed Alex just a few days ago to get the heads up on some of what this hammock has to offer... the info from Alex was every bit well understood, he covered every aspect of set up to the ways to vent, to all the insulation temp ratings, material, bug net and much more... overall this expressed to me just how much thought he has put into this hammock, as an all in one hammock goes.. Its tops! Check em out..
    Nice work Alex!
    Koolranch.. nice photos and great hammock mate!

    It looks like another great design.

    I would like to see it up close and personally - not that I need more gear at this point but "want"!

    That's a great looking hammock. Looks very well designed and very well put together. Like those booties too.

    From what I understand our high end local hiking backpacking store is supposed to be selling Sheltowee hammocks in their store. I stopped in around July or so and he said that they had ordered a few to see how they sold. They carry Enos and thats about it. Nice to see true craftsmanship making it to the masses.
    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.

    Ha, you are a funny man Shug! Not sure if that was my happy face but I was happy in the hammock. I definitely had a great time with you guys in the Gorge. I look forward to another trip.

    No problem Cabbo, I highly recommend the hammock and Alex. He is a class act.

    Very cool BigE94, if you are close to Alex from what I understand he will show you his shop and you can check out the wares. He is a stand up guy.

    Nice looking hammock. What is the black material toward the end of the hammock?

    Its extra fabric from the integrated under quilt design. It is used for a storage loft.
