So I've been off the ground for about a year, and am really starting to like hammock camping. I do a good bit out of my car, but also like to hike as well. I've been using my ENO which is comfortable for me, but have started to realize how heavy their gear is. I'm looking at getting a lighter weight hammock to hang under a superfly tarp and have started looking at some of the small venders here for a single layer hammock ( I use underquilts, not a pad). I'm 5'6 138 pounds. I need help deciding on the length (10 vs 11 feet), and also the fabric, 1.1 vs the 1.6. Can anyone speak to the advantages and disadvantages of each? I was thinking that the 1.6 may be a little better in terms of not stretching out as much. In terms of length, would the 11 feet be more comfortable? I'm guessing that it could still fit under a tarp with an 11 ft ridgeline or should I just go with a 10 ft hammock to be safe? I was looking at two vendors, simply light and bias.
