Well, I did it. I finally made my decision to go with the NX-250 w/Z-Liner, placed my order, and am now patiently awaiting delivery. Maybe not patiently, but I am waiting. I feel like a ton of weight has lifted off my shoulders. I've been so obsessed with the whole ordeal of reading and searching and more reading. I glad that's over. Now I start planning my first outing. I'm just giddy.
I really like the design of the NX-250. The spacious dome cover. The storage pockets both down under and up top. I Like the fact that the tarp is not connected to the hammock. This allows me to setup my tarp quickly during bad weather and keep my hammock dry during setup if needed. The weather shield for extra warmth will come in very handy since I'm a winter camper by heart. It's just not camping if you can't build a fire and enjoy it. I also like the fact that the NX-250 is large enough for me to live should my wife choose to exclude me from the house when you looks at the bank statement. I don't fully understand the higher prices, but it has all the features that I was looking for and it fits my 5' 10" 245 lb build. I was a little worried about some of the hammocks that were rated at 250 lbs. If I wore too many clothes to sleep I might bring the whole hammock down on top of me.
Anyway, when she gets here I'll post my first impressions with lot of pics for those still trying to make what some would say is a very difficult decision.
Oh, did I say it's CAMO. Stealth night out. Oh yeah!
