Which keeps the Treeboat warmer, your Cozy insulation, or a pad like Thermarest™?
We haven’t done any scientific testing, but here’s what we’ve experienced: The Cozy provides a soothing reflective warmth that envelops the hammock from side to side, and end to end. It wraps more insulation around you, compared to the pad. A Thermarest™ (or equivalent) pad is superb used inside the sleeve of our Sleeved Treeboat. It adds a cushion value in addition to warmth, on the deck of the Treeboat but not up the sides. We’ve found that while the all-around warmth of the Cozy is snug and wonderful, Treeboat comfort with only a pad is good throughout a cool summer night. (Backpackers know that a pad is more versatile than the Cozy, as well.) For ultimate warmth even in winter, use the Cozy and a pad together with the Sleeved Treeboat.
