Below are three photos of the new Hammock Sleeping bag. It is a modified version of the Freedom Shelter sleeping bag.
The foot end of the bag is open so the sleeping bag will fit around the hammock and when you pull the draw cord tight the end is closed and of course all of the insulation is pulled together for a well-insulated foot section. The rest of the sleeping bag fits easily around the body of the hammock so the need of an insulated layer under the hammock is not necessary. I have made the insulated panel to go under the hammocks in the past but to the best of my knowledge mine and the others available do not work very well especially when there is wind. That problem does not exist with these bags. The hood end of the bag has a small opening that allows the hammock cord to feed through so it can be attached to a pole, tree or frame as I have pictured. The hood is a flat hood so it can lay away from your face in warm weather but when needed, it will close around your head much more efficiently than a contoured hood can.
It is available in one size only, equivalent to the standard long wide bag of 34 x 90 inches. It is available in the summer weight (40º), Ultra Light weight (+20º), and Super Light weight (0º). Call if you want subzero capability.
The color choices are black and coyote or camo, but you will have to call to order the camo.
The pricing is the same as that of the Freedom Shelter bags.
Anyone ordering one this week can expect delivery next week. Just go to the web site or call for the camo choices.
