What is a vapor barrier?

Increase Body Heat with a Vapor Barrier

When properly used inside the sleeping bag of your camping hammock a vapor barrier can significantly increase your body heat. A barrier bag can raise body temperature ten to fifteen degrees. A vapor barrier traps body vapor close to the skin raising the humidity around the bosdy to 100%. This shuts down the body's heat loss due to perpiration. This vapor stays and over the course of the night gradually raises body temperature.
