Ultralight Backpacker vs. Expedition size/lay

[jloden]

The Hennessy site says these two hammocks have the same measurements, but I've seen it mentioned on the forum that the UL is on the smaller side. Anyone out there own both the UL Backpacker and the Expedition or at least tried both? Do they have a similar size/feel? The Expedition is a heavier fabric, I'm wondering how much difference that makes in the lay and comfort factor (I assume it's a little flatter?).

I like the UL specs for the lower trail weight, but I've only had an opportunity to try an Expedition so far (thanks JayS!). Not sure how much difference to expect between the two. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try both in person at some point but in the meantime figured I'd try the forum for some pointers.

The UL Backpacker seemed smaller to me than the Expedition too, even though HH list them both as 100" x 48". I wondered if the fabric tends to stretch over time? The Expedition I was looking at was well-traveled, while the UL was brand new.

Since writing this post I read some other posts that indicated the Hennessey website might not be terribly accurate, so there's always that It may also be something to do with the way the hammock is shaped/cut.

Regardless, good to know there's at least one more confirmation the ULB seems smaller. Thanks!
