I'm wondering if anyone here has had good luck with a underquilt with a layer of insultex with 1.1w nylon as the shell. Then using insultex with baffles to hold a small amount of down then apex climashield on top against the hammock with another nylon shell. I'm thinking it will help cut the wind chill down quite a bit and somewhat boost the temperature rating. I received my order and never having worked with nylon before my first impression is that it doesn't look very comfy compared to hexon.
