Lesovik® Primaloft Silver Otul Blanket Under Hammock

The manufacturer of travel hammocks Lesovik tries to increase the comfort of its customers as much as possible when traveling in nature. And so they also develop suitable accessories for the hammocks themselves, including this Otul hammock travel blanket, which will reduce the likelihood that you will get wet while sleeping outdoors. And it will also protect you from mild frosts.

Extra layer of insulation

The Lesovik Otul Blanket under hammock serves as an extra layer of insulation if you decide to sleep outside in a travel hammock during the cold months. This is an updated version of the iconic Lesovik blanket, which is suitable for outdoor temperatures ranging from -4 °C to +8 °C.

Protects against wind and rain

Lesovik Otul is a blanket that will protect you from cold, wind, snow and light rain. If you decide to sleep outside only in a hammock combined with a sleeping bag during the colder months, you may be cold. No matter what sleep system you choose, you should protect your back.

When the sleeping bag doesn't work

The moment you lie down, you compress the insulating layer of the sleeping bag underneath you so that the sleeping bag stops insulating as it should. Inefficient sleeping bag insulation needs to be "caught up" somewhere. In the case of a mat, the mat itself catches up with the insulation of the sleeping bag, in the case of a hammock, you need help from the outside. In such cases, an extra layer of insulation in the form of a blanket under the hammock is very suitable.

What about a hammock without insulation?

Sleeping in a hammock without insulation is possible, but the conditions must be ideal. That means warm summer nights. In our conditions, such nights are not very frequent. And in addition, it ends completely by September at the latest.

Is the mat not enough?

You may have thought that you can combine a sleeping bag and a hammock with a mat or a sleeping pad. But the blanket under the hammock is simply more effective. The mat only warms you from below, but the blanket also protects you on the sides, around the shoulders and at the feet. In addition, most mats do not have a suitable shape for combining with hammocks. They shift differently during the night and are impractical.

Synthetic insulation

The Lesovik Otul blanket under the hammock uses Primaloft Silver synthetic insulation, so it is also suitable for people with feather allergies. Primaloft Silver is a light, elastic, durable and hydrophobic insulation. This means, among other things, that it does not absorb water. Thanks to the well-thought-out trapezoidal stitching, the insulation stays in one place. This stitching further extends the life of the product.

Quick drying nylon

The Otul blanket has another benefit – it is made of quick-drying nylon, which is light and has also Ripstop and DWR treatment. The first protects the blanket from tearing, the second repels water. By the way, this is the same material used by Polish special forces in their sleeping bags.

Freshly made insulation

When producing the Otul blanket, Lesovik also thinks about sustainability. The insulation is shipped immediately after production, which means that it is not compressed for a long time during storage. In addition, it is made in Europe, which reduces its carbon footprint, as all Lesovik brand products are produced in Poland. Primaloft Silver insulation is made from recycled material and is effective due to the absence of stitching inside.

Universal hanging system

The Otul blanket under the hammock uses the Lesovik UNGAPER universal hanging system, which is a smart system that can raise the blanket by about 10 cm. The elastic cords across the hammock are connected by a unique side clip, which makes the Otul ergonomically adapted to your body, stabilizes it and closes all the gaps between the blanket and the hammock. The system is fully elastic and at the same time adjustable.
