Blackbird Single 1.7 vs XLC blackbird Single 1.7
Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and am overwhelmed by the amount of information contained here so I apologize if I am repeating someone elses questions. I have been a tent sleeper all of my life but have decided to try hammock sleeping. I do a fair amount of extended (5-7 day) backpacking trips and prefer to go as light as possible. I was looking at the Hennessy Explorer Ultralight, but when reading the forums, I get the impression that the Warbonnet Blackbird may be the way to go. I am 6'3 and about 200 lbs. so I think the WBBB would fit me just fine despite the cost difference between the two hammock manufacturers. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the WBBB Single 1.7 and the Warbonnet XLC Blackbird 1.7? Also any info on the pros and cons between the two would be greatly appreciated!

I'm new to this game too... I got the WBBB 1.7 double layer, & at 6'3", I find it pretty comfortable. I've never seen or tried an XLC, but I can see where the extra length might make it even more comfortable.
I imagine you'd be safe with either, if you have the extra $$$, spring for the XLC for the added comfort & accessories

I imagine I'm in within a few inches of their intended max's? Idk, but every time I feel like my feet are too far into the footbox, it's usually because I'm not far enough towards the head end.
I still haven't been able to make myself UNcomfortable yet lol.
What cover does that XLC weight go to? Bugscreen, winter cover, or open?
