Thanks! Good info! I'll bet I can find that at Home Depot or Lowes. I did read people were having condensation issues with the windshield shades. I'd bet it'd be a help for colder temps in combination with some other things.

Thanks for all the respons
es from everyone!

A five foot piece from the waist down and curled over the top of the feet kept me warm at 30. I think my hyper light was good for short trips, and bad for long trips. Bad for my posture on long trips. I had to have the lightest one. Maybe a bigger one would be better. Hammocks are handy in western Washington. No traveling into the night in search of a flat spot. On longer trips a tent seems better for my backs health.
