    Raven Colour Choice?

    So I think I'm convinced that the Raven is my next hammock. It's going to make a nice Christmas present So I'm looking for an opinion as to colour combos. Which do you guys prefer:

    or

    5395.jpg

    or

    5825.jpg

    Initially I really liked the grey on orange but then I saw the navy blue and thought it looks really sharp as well. Although the Navy in the colour swatch looks much lighter that it does in the attached photo (I do like the look of the dark Navy).... Opinions?

    The Navy/Orange looks very nice, indeed. However, I think my favorite of the bunch is the Dark Olive/Orange. I love that combo! But you need to get what you think you'll be most happy with. Regardless of your color choice, the Raven is a fantastic hammock, and you'll love sleeping in it!

    while its not the color i ordered or patiently waiting for like a psych patient waiting on his meds. Of those three Navy/Orange is my favorite.
    When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".

    Of those 3 choices I'd have to say the Navy/Orange has my vote.

    SteveE I don't think DD makes a Raven hammock. I've moved your post the Dream Hammock folder.

    In order: navy, grey and then green.

    Also, to be clear those hammocks posted are not Ravens. I believe those are Sparrows.
    “The word hammockable (Meaning: two trees that are the perfect distance apart between which a hammock can be hung) is not in the dictionary, but it should be.”

    The Outdoor ink fabric is awesome for an up charge. See pictures of my Raven through the Dream hammocks web site. Order 5796 is mine in Dejeanne ration x, blue with black accents. Not to confuse you but hey, you are doing yourself a nice gift, right? Just saying.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Yup I'm just trying to decide on a fabric colour so I do realize those pics are not Ravens. But thank you for pointing that out, I could see that being an easy mistake to make! I'll have to check out the OutdoorInk as well! Thanks guys

    LOL - the picture of the dark olive/orange one is my Sparrow (order # 5825), which I just received in the mail yesterday! In the sunlight, the dark olive actually looks a bit brown to me, and I love the burnt orange inner fabric. The only regret I have is that I wish I would have got the zipper covers in burnt orange as well, but it's no big deal. Mine is full 2.2HEX70 build and it is incredibly comfortable. I have three other hammocks from Warbonnet - a double layer 1.7 Blackbird XLC, double layer 1.7 Traveler XL and a double layer 1.7 Ridgerunner. In my opinion, none of these compare to the comfort, width and volume of the HEX70 Sparrow. I'm actually sleeping outside in it tonight and will post some pictures of the dark-olive fabric tomorrow.
