I got this combo before the winter, tried several times, but only last days allowed me to test the limits. The suspension is quite simple, I dont see any reason to run the shockcord all the way along the uq. Or secondary suspension. I bought the dutch ridgeline quilt hooks so that the uq hugs the hammock better. Tried with prusiks on the ridgeline too, works as well. What I really like is the pertex endurance fabric, tried some moist and freeze, quilts covered with ice in the morning, dried fast on the sun
The loft is amazing too.
The coldest I went to was -18. To -10 it was very warm inside with any clothes on me, just socks, and long sleeve warm t-shirt. It got to -18 in the night, i put my pyjama trousers on me. If I could sleep still and didnt move, could be OK in this temperature. Otherwise I would like to wear light down jacket or something like fleece jacket. For me the magic border is somewhere around -14 when everything inside is really warm. In -18, there were cold spots inside of the topquilt (still warm from underquilt) and I got cold on the foots in the place where they are touching the hammock footbox (compressed down). I also used the webbing loops on the sides to connect them with carabiners so that hugs me better and my warmth stays where it should. I survived, and had some sleep, but would wear something on me next time. However, those temperatures are rare here, so the comfort zone of -14 is pretty excellent.
And the guys in cumulus company... amazing.
