    Sure thing. @17 UQ set up was a 3/4 length 20 degree Lewis(Lost Biker) nested with a 2/3 length 20 degree HG clone. Neo-air sit pad in the footbox

    Cold @ 30 using just the 20 degree HG clone with the Neo-air.

    I've since gone down to a 30 degree insulated asym hammock. I had no idea what I was missing not having full length insulation. Have to take it there to know for sure, but I have yet to need base layers to around 39. Very warm and snug. I think it's going to be a real goody.

    Hmm. So are you saying your 30° full experience compares favorably with your 20° partial experience? I might have to give the full-length thing a try!!! What kind of insulated hammock are you using?

    Yes I'm kind of feeling that way. Never realized how cold my lower legs were getting. Go figure.

    It is a Sheltowee Bonefire Whisper 30 degree custom. Weights in @ 1.9lbs. I don't require the sit pad in the foot box anymore. So that cuts a few more ounces off my pack load plus a few more grams off due to lack of UQ suspension. Seems to be a bit of a reduction in volume as well. Probably a result of the narrower and shorter asym build. The lay is extremely flat.
