    Thermarest slacker warmer

    Anyone out there still using theirs? I’m looking to buy one, but I’m not sure how well they’re holding up, since it’s been a while since they stopped production.

    I have a slacker something-or-other (I really can’t keep track of their product names), which is the synthetic one that’s maybe a 50-degree UQ; I used it off and on all summer, and it held up just fine. I haven’t really abused it, though. It’s light, synthetic, and warm enough for what I wanted it for.

    Thanks for chiming in. Sounds like you’re using their Slacker Smuggler product, which is a lightweight insulated UQ. I’m looking for the Slacker Warmer item, which is more like a UQP with a reflective inside, rather than any actual insulation.

    Never heard of it, so I googled it. First thing came up was this: https://www.trailspace.com/gear/ther...ammock-warmer/

    TLDR; the coating fell of his after 5 years of storage and non use (review site, used it a few times for the review)

    Yeah, just ran across that link, too, this morning. It’s a data point of one, but not encouraging news off the bat.

    I guess it functions like the Hennessy bubble pad? https://hennessyhammock.com/products...ble-bubble-pad

    It’d be like the radiant part of that bubble pad plus the wind/rain blocking aspect of a UQP, is what I was thinking
