Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a superior sleeping system for backpackers and cold weather camping enthusiasts. It offers an unobvious and unique combination of baffling, baffle sizing, support systems, fastener systems, material selections, and other systems optimized for its use. The system is comfortable, lightweight, warm, and compact, being water proof, well insulated, and holding over500 pounds. It is ten times stronger than other hammocks and has a gross weight of 2.4 pounds and a compact travel form factor suitable for backpacking. The attachment system comports to the safety needs of rock climbers who may be suspended over great heights. Baffling sizing is not obvious to one skilled in the art, being determined through extensive experimentation and field use, with factors such as compression, heat retention, and crushing considered. Two feet by two feet and five inches by three inches are the second and third embodiments of the baffling sizing.

Abstract

An outer layer of fabric may be disposed under an inner layer of fabric with insulation disposed between the outer and inner layers of fabric. The insulation and fabric may be sewn in a baffling pattern to minimize insulation clumping and to maximize the retention of heat within the hammock. The disclosed embodiments may provide an insulated sleeping hammock suitable for backpacking and other forms of camping. Unique folding seam patterns provide strong attachment end points such that the hammock may be securely fastened to a pair of poles or trees. The unique folding seam patterns provide arm rests for a user as well as a strong anchor point for a zipper or hook and loop attachment system along the longitudinal edges of the hammock, allowing a user to close the sides for added warmth and protection from the elements.
