Tall hammock campers (6’6”+): what’s the best truly fiddle-free bottom insulation setup?
I’m 6’6” and I’ve reached the point where I just can’t deal with fiddling with underquilts anymore.
I’ve tried a bunch of hammocks and underquilts, including full-length JRB and Hammock Gear Incubators. My main problem is that I get a pretty significant calf ridge, which seems to make it difficult to keep a traditional underquilt sealed properly.
I’m also a very active sleeper and twist and turn a lot during the night. Even if I get the underquilt dialed in before sleeping, I eventually move around, create a gap somewhere, and wake up cold.
At this point I just want a true set-it-and-forget-it solution. Weight is less important to me than being able to move around without constantly worrying about my insulation.
I’m especially curious about the Dutchware Hellbender. It looks like exactly the kind of solution I want, but is it long/large enough for someone who is 6’6”? Anyone around my height tried one?
I’m also open to Superior Gear, Wooki/Blackbird XLC, or anything else.

I’m currently making a backpack, and I keep seeing people say that S-shaped shoulder straps are better for people with shorter torsos or for women, while J-shaped straps are often recommended for people with longer torsos or those with a flatter chest.
What I’m struggling to understand is why someone would prefer J-shaped straps in the first place. Even if you have a flatter chest, wouldn’t it still be more comfortable for the straps to curve slightly inward around the chest rather than coming straight down? What advantage do J-shaped straps provide?

What fabric do you guys use for the torso section of a backpack?
