@HomeMadeHiker  You are welcome--glad to help

There ARE sleeping bags without insulation?

[minibulldesign]

@wildwhippet  And birds that don't fly---LOL

Always enjoyed your videos... but to say hammockers are lemings doesnt hold water. The DIY forum on HF.net alone is a massive index of innovation of not only varriations of the old /but completely new ideas. Sorry I just don't share your thoughts on hammockers. And i think the reason why everyone hangs the insulation under them is to avoid compressing the warming materia, question is does insultex require loft to retain heat?

[minibulldesign]

@lowclasshammock Good question

Tinny, I would encourage more research into a few areas before you make your next video. There are already bags with out insulation from a mainstream gear manufacturer none the less. Your IX pad weighs more than comparable under quilts. You have amassed great stove knowledge I just think you need to do more research before speaking out about hammocks.

Big Agnes makes a bag without insulation on the bottom. They have a sleeve that enables the pad to be placed.

been using pe foam instead of insultex which is the middle component of insultex as a pad like you are testing i made a double layer hammock and put it inbetween layers.  I have been doing it for a year now been down to 12 degrees like that .

As a few have said Big Agnes has been doing the no insulation on bottom thing for years. Unfortunately they don't do it ultralight. Their bags are much heavier than other manufacturers conventional bags. Lately I really like using my bags unzipped in a quilt like configuration. Very comfortable and customizable.

@pda56 Thanks for the info I was thinking the same thing and may end up using one of these bags in the end.

[watertones]

I second the folks about Big Agnes. They've been selling bags for awhile without insulation on the bottom.

Im not sure if this wa mentioned but Thermarest makes a sleep system that is used with their mattresses. its called the haven 20 top bag. Its a slleeping bag witht the bottom cut out and can wrap around a neoair.

I'd have to think it would be difficult and inefficient to manufacture a sleeping back without down in the back. Every try to work with down feathers? It's not easy.

Just goes to show how things go in cycles. I have a Gerry ™ brand bag i bought in the 1970's that had no side baffle so you could shake the Goose down just to the top side of the bag if you wanted. I used (still use, actually) as a summer bag and as a liner bag in the winter.

Great product. - weighs just over a pound, which was remarkable for a 1970's bag

[jalfrado]

Add thermarest to the list of companies that make tha kind of bag
