Warm n Toasty
First of all, I'm no hardcore extreme hammock camper. I do want to be able to have the gear to do day trips and camping trips that in most weather conditions I can enjoy the hammock experience. I bought this product to use with sleeping pad for the added protection against the cold. The actual test was early morning mild winds , temps in upper 40's. Test 1- hammock only, result was chilly uncomfortable. Test 2 - sleeping pad only- much better, no more cold backside, however shoulders and arms felt wind gusts. Test 3 - pad plus ENO hot shot. Even more improvement. You can really tell a difference on arms , shoulder and hips! This product is a keeper for me!
Great for keeping your arms and hips war
I bought this for use with my REI 3.5 pad, unfortuanately, my pad is wide and the ENO Hot Pad is not. I have yet to do this, but I will be splicing a piece on the back so it fits my pad, other than that, it is well made and serves it's purpose in a hammock - it keeps your arms and hips warmer as it insulates that part from the cold. As I just bought the pad, then switched from tent to hanging, I wanted a way to use the gear I had rather than spend more on underquilts, etc. This is the only pad holder I know of. It would work on the ground, for those who tend to come off the pad. I don't backpack, so it's up to you if the weight is worth the comfort.
Much better than expected
I put off purchasing the HotSpot for quite a while simply because I didn't think it would be worth much at all, but I was pleasantly surprised!! It is so lightweight that I don't mind backpacking with it. I used it for chilly hammock camping in Montana & Wyoming and it added significant warmth to my core. My sleeping bag is rated at 25degrees and I usually find myself chilly around my hips and shoulders when camping in my Eno DoubleNest when it is below 40 or so degrees. I used the hotspot with my rig in July when it was about 35 degrees overnight and it was perfect! Fits great with my Therm-a-Rest Pro4 Sleeping Pad. Definitely do not regret this purchase!
It really does work!
Just spent the first night with this in my hammock. It was down to 55 and it truly did help keep my thighs and arms warmer. I know that some DIY folks have made contraptions similar to this that might cost less and might be lighter, but I'm not that crafty so I'm ok with paying someone else to do it for me! It is a little costly for what it is but it does work as intended. And I wish it were a little lighter, but I guess I'll have to make my own to get that:-)
Keeps arms warm, but still moves around
I bought this pad to use as part of a multi-tier insulation system for my hammock camping. I add this to my pad for hammock camping that isn't cold enough for my underquilt. I also use the pad system with my underquilt when the temps dip too low for the underquilt to handle alone. The hot-spot works very well in terms of keeping my arms and hips from developing cold spots. The foam insulation is the perfect balance for weight and effectiveness. I find that my sleeping pad still has a tendency to move around... even with the hot spot. I am going to sew a sleeping pad sleeve into my hammock to deal with this and render the issue moot. If you are looking for something to prevent cold butt syndrome on your hips and arms, this is the ticket! If your only concern is that you have a sleeping pad that slides around, this won't make much of a difference. All in all, I find that it is a decent piece of gear that is worth the money I spent.
Does The Job Well
Out a month ago at 28 degrees and cold with Thermarest only and cold. Added Wings last week and warm at 21 degrees. The last little bit to make the system work well in cold weather
Makes a difference
The hotspot pads protect my arms and hips from touching the Hammock so there is nothing sticking over my 20 inch wide pad to get cold. It’s very lightweight folds up to almost nothing and a good addition for warmth. I would prefer The slip that wraps around a 20 inch pad to cover both the back and the front of the pad with more than the three thin straps across the back, but so far that has not been a problem.
Not a pad but still a great product
This is a great product but i want to make this clear, THIS IS NOT A SLEEPING PAD, but it keeps my hips and arms warm and does what it's supposed to do
Keeps you warm
This product generally works fine. As long as you position your pad and make sure the "wings" are coming up on both sides where you need them. I wish that the width of the pad that it will work with was a bit wider. I use a back packing therma rest and it barely fits.
So so.
It does help some to keep the pad from moving. But it could be better. worth what I paid for it, but I wouldn't want to have paid more for it.
