***REVIEW*** Ecotec Hybern8 insulated 4 season pad

[Chesapeake]

Hey guys, it been a while! I've been super busy the past few months but have recently started to test some new gear so I figured I'd share. This is a pretty decent budget option from what I can tell. The construction is excellent and it's fairly inexpensive. So far I've been texting it for about a week now and have used it outside in my XLC w/ the net on, inside in my 11' DIY argon 1.6 AND in a *** gulp*** tent. Yes, I actually bit the bullet for science and used it in the OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow 1 person tent that I'm also testing ( full review on my YouTube channel ). In all 3 cases it performed great and stayed under me all night without sliding all over the hammocks due to the non-slip bottom. It easily inflates in about 10 breaths and provides ample bottom and side coverage in a hammock. I obviously haven't tested it in colder weather yet, but it seems to be rated to 10° or so I think, and I've even seen it given an R value of 4. I will continue to test and give updates as I go. From what I can tell though it's actually pretty decent quality wise and I haven't seen any negative feedback yet. Time will tell though, as it almost always does with products from Amazon like this. Let me know what you think , and check out my YouTube channel for some pretty neat new gear reviews on : Pathfinder stainless steel alcohol stove, OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow 1person tent, Snugpak Base Camp Ops inflatable pillow, CRKT Woods Chogan Tomahawk, Victorianox one handed Trekker pocket knife , and coming soon the Helikon-Tex Foxtrot mk2 belt rig , Condor H harness Molle belt rig , Snugpak Inhanced Patrol Poncho & Liner , SLD 0° Trail Winder and a yet to be determined NEW hammock to replace my severely aged and racoon damaged XLC lol. I've also got some other new vids on my hiking clothing and the other gear/accessories I use when hiking, camping & bushcrafting. Check it out if your interested and I'll update this post as I continue to test!
