I wonder about the "need" for breathable fabric in alot of these newer hammocks. I guess there is two rules of thought here. Breathable: less sweaty, but colder. None breathable: More sweaty but warmer. I don't lay in a hammock in the sun during the daytime very often and not experienced the sweat(cold sleeper?) they "talk" about., so the none breathable works best come night time by not allowing the wind to put colder air on me. Pad seem to work best for "me". ymmv...
@supercooldudeism it's actually very well ventilated. I thought the fabric being waterproof would be an issue but that has not come up. You just keep the top rolled back and everything is fine while hot out. When it gets in the 60's at night you pull the top back over you and have a pad under you. Will be fall time before I can see how condensation works out in it. After the mods this has turned out to be a pretty good little setup with rainfly.

It seems like it might lack ventilation, does it get boiling hot in there?
