   @codya95 — It is synthetic and with the additional layer for winter, it is pretty bulky. Only packs down to about the size of a cheap sleeping bag at Walmart. But, it sure it warm!

   I just ditched my tent for a hammock when I camp in the mountains and won’t be going back! I switched for the space/weight benefits but was amazed how much better I slept. As long as you have trees around the hammock beats a tent hands down. A foam mat is awkward, and a heavy duty space blanket is a cheaper option for insulation.

   @fustratedfisher Sorry that I didn’t respond sooner. I like my burrito oven when the temperature dips below 35 to 40 degrees. It holds in just enough heat to help me be more comfortable. It it breathable. So I have never had any condensation issues. When it’s over 40 degrees, I don’t use it. I like the cool air in my face.

   Thanks for asking.
