Anybody get one of these yet?

I'm curious to see how well the reflective pad they created works.

I've always loved HH, however, I wrote them off b/c I wasn't too big on the bottom entry.

I might start saving my pennies for one of these buggers.

Hacktorius,
No experience with this model but my HH Expedition with 2Q/ZQ zipper mod is a great hammock. And my WBBB double layer is another favorite. So a HH with zipper and double layer could be quite nice. Let us know what you think if you get one.

Good to see you on the forums - you've been scarce. Are you going to make it to the MAHHA hang in October?

I haven't used mine with pads, but if you like the HH line of hammocks (other than the bottom entry) I see no reason why you won't like these hammocks. I really like the material used; very soft. The feel of the hammock is the same as their other hammocks, just no bottom entry that may/may not dig into your leg.

Glad to be back. I've had some personal stuff going on so haven't had much time for forums. But I'm back now. LOL

I am planning to go to the MAHHA. I've already put in notice to leave work early. I will be bringing kiwi, and one other person (I'll explain later - long story). LOL

I have the HH DJ-long and am very happy with it. The reflective pad works very well for me. I have used it with a zero degree sleeping bag and been warm at 15 degrees. It really reflects a lot of heat back at me. In warm weather, I leave the reflectix at home and just take a CCF pad & a summer sleeping bag, or even just a sheet in the summer.

I also have the HH DJ-long and very happy with it, first few times i used it (and a hammock in general) I was very comfy and warm with the reflective pad, but after more use without the pad I then found it hard and not as comfy so I went down the UQ path.
Short of that very comfy, material very nice and soft but gets caught in the zipper easy (but no damage) - I suspect the UQ suspension may have something to do with this.

I really like the Expeditions and the Explorers from Hennessy and now they have side entry zip models.

I have the new HH expedition zip. I have tried a pad in it and it worked fine, I didn't use it as it was to warm but did try it out and had no prob. with it
