curious what their bottom insulation will be... but I assume you'll be carrying a pad of some sort.

Cool product.  Another searcher for the "Holy Grail" of hammocking.  I'm curious how they are handling the build up of moisture inside when it's all zipped up as well as water pooling on the outside.  If they haven't addressed those issues, it seems you will still need to carry a tarp to shed rain and allow moisture to evaporate out of the shell.

Ya, looks like it would get damp inside from breath and body moisture.  But, good for them for putting on their thinking caps.  I hope they sell a million of them.
