used one as an add on to my regular pad just this past weekend down in the tweenties. it makes a nice sit pad to mine is the foam version.

With the basic science of heat reflectivity I think one would be best to use a foam pad on TOP of the reflective shade, right? Anyone, Bill Nye??

I think the opposite, and that is what I did. The reflector goes on top.

One of those saved my butt in Florida when the temps dropped more than expected. The silver side goes on top.

I used one last summer, an XL version for trucks. It was nice and warm, but slipped out easily. I am thinking of using some rubber cement or silicon rtv to make a bunch of non-skid dots all over the bottom.

Pads work best with a double layered hammock or else you're fighting it all night. I finally had one made for me and even when the UQ isn't enough I'll slide a 3/4 pad in and it fixes everything.

I used a blue Walmart pad underneath one of the Jumbo Blockade sunscreens for my first hang last weekend. Worked great, perfectly toasty on the bottom. It slid around a bit, but it was manageable. Agree with the previous idea; some hot glue dots or rubber pieces underneath to keep it in place might be helpful. Or just a DIY SPE.
