    I recently bought a Hennesey and really like it. It came down to the Blackbird or the Hennesey and I choose the Hennesey because it does not have a zipper. But then, here's the down side to my purchase. I thought Hennesey was a "cottage industry" type business, much like I understand Blackbird to be. I was wrong. The Hennesey I recieved was made in China-another slap in the face to a country with 10% unemployment. And when I looked at my bank statement it had a $7.95 (or something like that) charge on it. I went to the bank and asked about it since I didn't recognize the charge and all they could tell me it was a charge made over seas. It was next to the Hennesy charge on the statement. So, no doubt, this was some sort of money exchange charge. So, eventhought I like the product, if I had it to do over I would have bought the Blackbird.

    The currency charge was probably due to the fact that Hennessy is a CANADIAN company.

    Keep researching, I did when in Clark Vs HH land and came to a different conclusion entirely (<--- obviously). Mind you the Clark and HH hamocks are fine set ups and you won't go wrong with either but there are more than those two offered. I suppose that if I was in final decided land and those two were it, the HH would win. Simply because you are going to want a better UQ and tarp at some point anyway and for the price difference you could build a dynamite HH kit.

    Oh and WB is looking into China outsourcing too. For a few bucks more you can buy a USA made HH and also WB BTW.

    My 2 cents anyhow...

    I have an Eno and I'm eyeballing a WBBB, but if I were you, between the two (hey, that rhymed!), I'd go with the Clark.
