Frontline or Camping DD Hammock??

[widu13]

What a lot of nonsense about condensation in a hammock, as soon as you put an insulation mat in any hammock your going to suffer from condensation, unless of course your insulation mat is breathable.
The travel hammock on the ground under a tarp will shield the dampness from below, and the midges from above.When you can't find trees.

It's not nonsense bud. I suffer with it in summer when used without any insulation and all year around when using a cocoon. The travel hammock just isn't breathable it's waterproof. I had great plans to use it in summer to ground dwell with built in netting. Have I used it that way in 3 yrs? Nope!

I use mine with a cocoon and still suffer with condensation on my Travel. I wish the frontline was an option when I got mine.

Cheers bud - deciding whether or not to trade in & treat myself to a Frontline - but if an underquilt solved the issue I’d have gone for one of those instead!

I’ve not needed to go to ground yet but if I do I normally carry a spare tarp/groundsheet anyway!

Certainly anything BUT nonsense. There are many threads and reviews floating around about the condensation issues with the Travel version. As already mentioned - it uses fully waterproof material and so is therefore NOT breathable.

Reckon I'll just have to buy the Frontline version and the Travel as a spare!

My point is, no matter what hammock you use if you use an insulation mat, you will get condensation, even in a frontline. I am sorry it's fact.
Please read carefully before engageing the keyboard.
