flpaddler - I spent my first night in my Hennessey (and my 11 year old grandson in his) Friday night in my back yard.  Here in northern Indiana the low was about 35 degrees, there waa a steady breeze, ~10-15 mph, and I did not put up the rain flys.  I bought a 72"x20"x1/2" closed cell foam pad from WalMart to go inside the hammock and we slapt in 15 degree bags in sweats.  By about 3:00AM I was a bit cold so I woke the little guy and we went in to bed.

I agree with you about warmer weather.  I think a thinner and wider pad would be a good idea too.  I don't want to pack too heavy but I also don't want the skeeters pok'in me in the ribs when I'm laying on my side.  What do you use?
