Thanks...the clip alone is a great idea. I'm definitely ordering one before spring.

Is there a website or does anyone have pictures or description/specs of the switchback hammock? Thanks.

You should find lots of info.

OK, I'm intrigued.

After a recent equipment failure I find myself possibly in the market for a new hammock. The obvious choice to replace my HH UL Explorer was the WBBB. I liked the idea of the roominess and flay lay that people had described. I occasionally sleep on my sides. Can anyone advise how flat this hammock is to the WBBB? I did not see it in the prior pages. If I missed it, forgive me.

Cinci.... I dont have a WBBB, but I do have a traveler and I can get just as flat in the Switchback as I can the traveler.

I wonder if the loops on either end will support a structural RL.

What are the weight limits on the new hammocks?

Hey Opie,

I wouldn't advise using those loops for anything structural. They are GG ribbon. Their intended use is for clothes/gear bags. You would also lose a lot of head room with a SRL. If you really desire a SRL, how about attaching it to the Woopie Slings and suspending the net from it ?

Cheers, Dale

OK, as more of you folks start using this hammock, the million dollar question for me: how is the calf/leg pressure, from any foot end center ridge, when on the diagonal?

Hey BillyBob,

I would love to answer this for you, but I will let someone unbiased do so.

Cheers, Dale
