I've been researching insulation for my NX-250 with several HFCJH searches and reading comments from NX-250 owners who are very happy with their Yeti, Mt Washington, Phoenix, Incubator, New River, and Zeppelin UQs, and said how well they fit - usually after tucking the mounting cord into/around the pole hoops. There were also a few Z-Liner users who like them with one who added supplemental DIY pillows. But I didn't see comments that answer all of my questions. Sorting all this out is very confusing.
I really like being able to put almost of my gear into the pockets while hanging my empty backpack from the suspension for easy to access dry gear storage without having to sleep on an uncomfortable pile of stuff like I did in a tent (on snow for added insulation).
It's easy to visualize how a Z-Liner can be compressed and lose it's insulating capability by packing the pockets with too much gear. For Z-liner users, how big of an issue is that?
UQ owners, do UQs restrict the access to or volume of the pockets? And while you are answering that...
I did not see in the threads any downside to the UQs mentioned. Is there anything that doesn't work well with your UQs on a NX-250? and...
Synthetic vs Down - Both wet synthetic and down bags would be miserable to sleep in. However I would expect a synthetic to be much better than down when I'm hanging above the wet insulation. Has anyone had their UQ get wet while attached to the hammock under their tarp? How? How did it affect it's primary function of insulating?
