I have to say, I was skeptical. My previous hammock camping experiences (limited) were using a really nice (but older) 0 degree down sleeping bag, and various foam/reflectix pad combos. After my last overnight where it got down to around 30, I froze all night on my backside and decided to bite the bullet. I placed an order with HG for the titled Combo, pretty much stock (sewn footbox).
Last night I went out a few miles to a local AT shelter, and pitched. It was a little damp, and went down to about 35 overnight.
The skepticism came from holding up the topquit to the ligght and seeing how little down seemed ot be in it. Both quilts were certainly light, but I had a hard time imaginging they’d really keep me warm.
I ROASTED. I was so comfortable all night long, I ended up oversleeping well past dawn. It took a little out-of-hammock adjusting to get the right hand side of the underquyilt to nestly in underneath the warbonet shelf (and I might look at making an attachment there), but it was honestly one of the best nights sleep I’ve had in years.
The build quality is incredible, and I have nothing bad to say so far. Believe the hype.
