Real World Experience - How Does Your IX UQ Work?

[TiredFeet]

In a bridge hammock with insulated ends. Because of the fit, that's more comparable to an insulated sock than an IX UQ.

I've been toasty at 8*F with 5 layers of IX underneath, one of which was a sock. I believe 4 would have been sufficient.

Mac - the ends are not insulated, just some uncoated ripstop, about 1.0 or less oz per sq yard. Stops a brisk wind, but not much else. I can even see light through the end panels.

It is the ability to seal the uq to the end panels or the hammock end and making the top shell an exact duplicate of the Bridge Hammock that is the real secret.

That's also why the IX Hammock Sock has worked well.
