HH Weights

Noobie here, tending toward UL backpacking.

Question: Are the weights posted for Hennessy Hammocks for the whole package (tarp, suspension, etc) or just the hammock?

Thanks!

It is for the hammock, suspension and small, diamond tarp. Some folks substitute a heavier, PU Hex tarp for the same price. This gives a lot more lounging room for the same price, but does add some weight. Or, for a small ($50-60?)price increase, you can get the 19 oz Sil-nylon Hex tarp, which is huge but only adds about 8 oz compared to the Explorer sized tarp ( 11 oz?).

For example, the Explorer UL is regular $219 for hammock, diamond tarp, net and suspension at total 2 lb 9 oz. That is the first hammock I got some years ago, pretty good set up for me any way.
