mummy since i have sold off my old pads i was in the market for a new one.
i have exped pads my wife and i use for tent camping.
i made an underquilt and had great success with it this spring on a solo trip in may, but it was heavy and bulky.
i also have an exped solo tent i take on my solo trips it the weather forecast is for cold.
i am looking forward to trying this pad in my hammock. i really like the shape as it should fit nicely with the tapered ends.
with the undercover from 2qzq, it could be the nice small layer of warmth i am looking for. i'll keep you posted.

What is your underquilt made out of? I use a KAQ jarbidge that I bought really cheap, I believe $50, along with a REI brand sit pad for my feet. Bulk is a little bigger but weight is deffinetly not an issue. Dou you have a double layer hammock? I have had luck with pads in a double layer but always seem to have issues when I try in a single layer. Like you said keep us posted.

My UQ fits inside a 2 liter bottle, weighs around 1 pound.

is it a diy?, warm, got any photo's? thks

Its a DIY. Down fill. 850 I think. I'll take some pics. And yes very warm.

this is the diy uq i made out of a lite weight down throw. it does'nt weigh much, just bulky. it did keep me warm to 25 degrees.

last night here in ne iowa the temp dipped right below 50. so i grabbed my big a pad and hh and watched the stars in the backyard. i felt the warmth of the fill, and the shape of the mummy fit the hammock very nicely. i am glad i went with the mummy for the hammock.
it got chilly from above as i just had a thin blanket.

I hate sleeping with any kind of mattress in my hammock. All I've ever ended up doing is slipping and sliding all around, and, in fact, it was just a PITA.
Just get a decent, tight fitting UQ rated for your cold weather needs and be done with it.
Pay a lot = get a lot. And all kinds of comfort.
I absolutely abhor trying "alternatives" when it normally just saves a bunch of time and hassle to get the right thing in the beginning.
