Insulated Hammock V

I've got a hammock one from them that works incredibly well. I have different brand ground sleeping ones, but it never hurts to have a spare. Even if it only ends up usable in the Summer, that's when friends are borrowing gear, anyway. I think I'm going to get a couple of these to go with my loaner gear.

Ahh ok then yea low or no R-value would be fine in those cases. Klymit also makes a good lightweight low R-value pad, it's what I used in Texas and worked quite well in warmer weather. Not as heavy or thick as the one you linked, but much lighter and packs down smaller. Great if you're backpacking but there are better options if car camping imo. Exped Ultra 1R is also a good pad, the more insulated 3 and 5 are also popular for colder temps. I've used the Dura versions which are a heavier/more insulated version and it was comfortable. I've also heard good things about Nemo Tensor but have no experience with it.

My car camp pad is an exped mega mat, wonderful. Saw a cheaper version at Scheels by Lightspeed? Dense foam with air and it holds well. For backpacking, I need lightweight and use a Klymit5, love it, but 3 nights on it I’m wanting a hotel.

I use rhe Klymit insulated pad - excellent!

Lonnnng ago when I was a kid a few pieces of thick cardboard made great insulation but not super comfortable. Now days I think the cardboard with something like a yoga mat or a folded Cargo Blanket on top would work well. Now, I use a Klymit (the red one) insulated inflatable pad and it is very warm and comfortable. It is not cheap though - around $80 US.

I use a cheaper blow-up Klymit with some reflectix r21 over the top. Super light and cost effective. My blow-up pillow has an elastic strap, which i use to keep them together at the head, and at the toe, I just use a piece of paracord. I've done this for years and never felt the need for a $200 + sleep mat.
