Hennessy Style Under Quilts

The Nest

The Winter Nest

The Jacks ‘R’ Better philosophy in creating our 900 Fill Power option.

First of all, we have not redesigned the quilt shells.  Whether the insulation is 800 fill power down or 900 fill power down they are the same width and length.  A three season model has a two inch baffle and a winter model has a three inch baffle.  That means for a given quilt model, the internal volume is the same.  The difference is that it requires less 900 fill power down by weight to fill that volume than it does 800 fill power down.  Thus 900 fill power three season quilt will weigh about 1.5 ounces less than the same quilt with 800 fill power down.  Similarly, a 900 fill power winter model will weigh about 2.25 ounces less than the same winter quilt with 800 fill power and a 900 fill power summer quilt will weigh about 0.75 ounces less than a summer quilt with 800 fill power down.  The basic performance of the quilts is established by the quilt dimension/design not by the insulation material.  We provide a 15-22% overstuff factor in all our quilts.  This over stuff compensates for deviations from certified standards and it provides for field variations in humidity from laboratory rating and testing standards.  It also reduces down shifting beyond normal expectations.

Again, the insulating performance of an 800 fill power quilt and a 900 fill power quilt of the same model are identical.  The 900 fill power version is simply lighter.

 

 

The Nest

The ORIGINAL Hammock Under Quilt

The Winter Nest

A Winter model of

The ORIGINAL Hammock Under Quilt

"Your Hennessy hammock is not complete without the JRB Nest under quilt." Extend your hammock camping into Winter

Nest on a Hennessy Backpacker Ultra-light A-Sym

Description:  No more wrestling with pads inside the hammock. No more waking up cold in the middle of the night. The "Nest" and "Winter Nest" under quilts retain the convenience of the Hennessy bottom entrance with a split entrance w/non-snagging, double sex Velcro that attaches to the Hennessy’s entrance hook and loop. Both the "Nest" and "Winter Nest" attach to the hammock in under a minute without sewing or special hardware (attachment instructions).  It comes with a JRB Suspension System and the improved foot end draw cord modification to assist in elimination of the dead air pocket that sometimes is experienced under the legs.  Includes a 1.2 oz. JRB silnyl compression sack.

Note:  The “Nest” and "Winter Nest" were specifically designed for the Hennessy Ultralite Backpacker A-sym.  However, the design of the suspension system and the Omni-Tape closure on the slit allows them to fit all asymmetric models of the HH and most other lightweight camping hammocks.  The Hennessy Adventure Racer requires the addition of two elastic straps.  Simply advise us when you order if you have this model and we'll add these at no cost.  The older non-asymmetric models of the Hennessy require a simple modification to the Nest.  If you have one of these, again simply advise us when you order and we'll apply the modification at no cost.
