    When you use a sleeping bag in a hammock the insulation underneath you gets squished and holds little to no air. The air pockets in insulation are what makes it insulate and keep you warm - so to...

    There's a 2.4 oz penalty between the insulated and regular version (19.87 vs. 17.44). If I only had to have 1 pad for year round use I would get the insulated version no doubt. A good r-value is the...
