The Therm-a-Rest crew were pretty busy and they have created some great new products. We‘ve been testing the Slacker lineup, but now there‘s plenty more goodies for the hammock crowd.
The Slacker Hammock House is a complete shelter system and includes everything but insulation. The Hammock House includes a hammock with integrated bug net and you get a tarp too. Slacker Suspenders complete the system and it all comes packed in a single stuff sack. The Slacker Hammock House weighs in at 3 pounds 10 ounces and has an MSRP of $199.95.
Therm-a-Rest Slacker Hammock HouseFor hammock insulation, Therm-a-Rest now offers a hammock specific sleeping pad. It uses AirFrame technology which combines self-inflating foam with air channels and the stuff sack turns inside out and converts into a pillow or knee bolster with some extra clothes. The Slacker Hammock Pad will have an MSRP of $119.95. The pad weighs 1 pound 9 ounces, measures 26 inches by 75 inches and has an R-Value of 2.1.
Therm-a-Rest Slacker Hammock PadIf you don‘t like a pad in your hammock, the Slacker Snuggler and Super Snuggler work too. Both of these hang from the bottom of the hammock and keep you insulated from below. The Super Snuggler adds a ThermaCapture lining to trap radiant body heat from colder nights. The Snuggler weighs in at 15 ounces and has an MSRP of $79.95 and the Super Snuggler costs $129.95 weighing 1 pound 9 ounces.

Speed Valve technology uses the black magic arts of physics and science to blow up quickly and easily. You just sorta puff air into the large valve and surrounding air sucks in to inflate these pads. It is really amazing. Click here to see Therm-a-Rest demonstrate this crazy cool technology.
