Unboxing the "Exped Scout Combi" hammock and tarp

[pango]

Hi,
Just to let you know that my hammock arrived yesterday morning, which is quite impressive considering I ordered it on Saturday morning.

So, now I'm excited, and at the first opportunity to get away for a night I'll be off like a racing lizard!

Cheers guys.

I am considering buying an Exped Down mat to replace my aged (and punctured thermarest) and also use it as insulation for my hammock. However I am am unsure if the 7DLX Exped Downmat will fit in between the two 'sandwich layers' on the Exped Scout Combi hammock especially when it has been hung and someone is lying in it. I found that my square theramest in my DD hammock was really squeezed at each end of the hammock when it is hung (due to the elipitical nature that the ends are thinner than the middle). I don't really want to splash out on an exped if it either does not fit (DLX) or is too narrow (standard) to provide adequate shoulder to should insulation.

Anyone had any direct experience of using either expeds in a hammock (even better if someone had used them in this model of hammock).
