Welcome. That PNW would be the USA Pacific Northwest - the states of Washington and Oregon.
Your English is very good (much better than my Russian What area of Russia are you from and what are the trails like?

To tell the truth , there are no really Russian hammock manufacturers. Mostly you can find in retail shops cheap chinese hammocks or hammock from ENO and Grand Trunk wihc are more pricey. A very small minority of peoples DIY hammocks for themselves, and some peoples like me just buy from foreign companies if they know how to do it and have basic knowledge of English language.
Hammocking in Russia is not very popular because people think hammocks are only for lounging and sleeping in a hammock will make sore back. Even when I meet on trail some people who use a hammock they did not even know about Underquilts, ridgelines, hammock socks and etc, even some of them has very small hanging angle.
I try to explain to everyone how to use a hammock and tell about different types of equipment for hammocks. Hope someday community will grow

Sounds like a business opportunity!

Already have Dutch chameleon and Amok Draumr XL. Love em both. Right now saving some cash to buy a top quilt for amok (because Amok already has some insulation at the bottom ). And later will buy underquilt for chameleon. Planing to use 20F TQ and UQ at warm wintertime in Russia :^)

Hi shichimi-as for a Top quilt , could you not use a down duvet from ikea ? Have you ikea there? Is it not cheaper to do this ?

Hi my friend! Yes, we have IKEA.Most warm duvet in ikea costing more than 150 usd (KÄLLKRASSE) and it is very heavy,have weak outer shell (satin or cotton) and do not contain pure down (it has more duck feathers than down).So I do not think it is good idea to buy it .Better save some cash and buy hammock topquilt from cottage company, hammock gear for example.

There is no so much secret to keep you warm at winter in Russia. Weather there is no so special as is rest of the world .
I was born in Kolyma, so there cold long winter and summer is not so warm as well.Temp is somewhere between minus 30 and minus 45 .But if you go near sea coast (Ohotskoe sea and pacific ocean) temp will rise to minus 25 .Yes it look like warmer but because of sea breeze and hight humidity it a lot colder to me than - 45 celcius at north.
So to keep you warm use hot drinks and hot food. Wool clothing and down jackets working good as well.As for UQ and TQ use what suits better for temperature outside ,there are plenty to chhose from vendors and you can combine two UQ or TQ to increase warm at colder temps.
