    BB DL 1.1 or 1.7

    I am 6'0" and weigh between 210-220, depending on the season. Weight is not factor as I will be using the BB on motorcycle trips. I know I saw a chart somewhere, but can't find it now. I think I remember that at my weight I should go with the 1.7. Is that correct? Any thoughts?

    Scroll down toward the bottom of the page for the chart. Looks like you should get the double 1.7. The double 1.1 is close, so you might be happy with it, but since carry weight is not a factor for you, the double 1.7 is probably what you should get.

    I must have looked at that chart a hundred times last night and missed the column with the weights. Guess my eyes keep being drawn over to the Cost column. lol

    I love my dbl 1.7. I am 6' 220. Get a nice flat lay. If weight is not a factor then IMHO their is no reason not to get the 1.7 dbl. Will help save you money if you decide to use a pad instead of an UQ.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    I'm curious, for those who've seen both, is there much difference in the bulk of how it packs up? I know there can't be much, but might be enough that along with the weight savings, would make a difference to me.

    Just ordered a BB DL 1.7 and a Superfly from Brandon. They are currently out of stock on the BB, but maybe it won't be too long a wait.

    Thanks to everyone for the help.

    I ordered the Single 1.1 and I'm 180 lbs. How much of a buffer is built into the that weight chart? Am I gonna fall through or should I just watch my calorie intake?
