Customize Your Storm Bundle:

Choosing the right temperature rating is essential. Our products are comfort rated rather than survival rated. While many manufacturers seem to use the least amount of down possible, we use generous amounts of high fill-power down to ensure that you are toasty warm all night. When selecting from our temp ratings, there is usually no need to buy a colder rating than the the coldest temperatures you anticipate (unless you are an unusually cold sleeper). For example, if you'll be camping down in the 40s and 30s, our 30F gear is fully adequate to keep you warm. Or if you expect to be in the high teens and 20s, then our 15F model will be just right. And so on. You probably don't want to carry more weight than you need, so just take our temp ratings very literally and you should be cozy warm with the lightest pack possible.

On the other warmer end of things, you don't need to be too concerned that you'll be too hot in the 50s or 60s. Down breathes very nicely, and it almost certainly won't feel too warm until you get up into the mid 70s or 80s. Even our very warmest winter hammocks are perfectly pleasant up into the high 60s. So we advise that you make your decision based on the coldest temps you expect, not the warmer temps.

The Elite Upgrade takes our already optimized Superior Hammock design to the absolute limit of ultra performance. The weight of our (45F) Superior Hammock drops from 31oz to just 23oz. That's only 1.5 lbs! Here's how we achieve this incredible performance:

- Upgrade from 800 Fill Power to 900 Fill Power.
- Upgrade from .9oz fabrics on the bottom layers to .67oz.
- Slightly shortened insulated length from 6'6" to 6'0" (Still long enough for most especially laying on a diagonal)
- Top layer upgrade from 1.6oz from 1.0oz fabric. Yet the strength rating only drops from 400lbs to 300lbs, because of the incredible optimized 3-layer design with essentially a 2-layer hammock structurally.

What allows these astonishing lightweight specs where traditional hammocks / quilts combos can't? It's because our 3-layer design makes the most out of every single layer. Whereas each layer of a traditional UQ setup serves only a single purpose, the middle layer of the Superior serves double-duty as both a structural part of the hammock, and also containing down. This design also increases the warmth efficiency. Not to mention the overall simplicity.

The Elite Superior will keep your pack super ultralight without any sacrifice of warm cozy sleep!

** Note : Elite bottom fabric not available in camo color. All bottoms will use gray unless you leave a note in the checkout if you prefer the 4oz heavier camo. Elite Camo top color is still an option.

The Shelter Tarp is made from waterproof, lightweight and very strong silicone-treated polyester, which minimizes stretch even when wet.
The two ridgeline ends of the Shelter feature our original rope adjuster for a very secure tarp, but still allows easy tightening and loosening. There are 14 tie-out points. Most have handy clip-in hardware adjusters for the ropes and bungees, to quickly adapt to changing weather conditions.

As with all our products, we have carefully designed every aspect of the Shelter setup to be simple, intuitive and easy to adjust. No knots required.

We offer 3 variations of the Shelter:

- Summer Shelter 12: Hex tarp with excellent rain coverage we call the Summer Shelter. 12ft long, 9.5ft wide, 16oz.

- Winter Shelter 12: Rectangular tarp with versatile full doors. Offers greater wind protection, privacy and added warmth. 12ft long, 9.5ft wide, 18oz.

- Winter Shelter 14: Longer version of the Winter Shelter 12. Ideal for two hammocks in tandem. 14ft long, 9.5ft wide, 21oz.
