New WBB 1.0 Double Layer

Anybody try the new 1.0 DL WBB yet? Its over 5 ounces lighter than my 1.1 DL and its $45 cheaper. I know its made internationally (china I think) but has anyone compared the quality to the originals? For that much of a weight loss, I'd be willing to trade out of my 1.1 and pick up one of those.

I have a 1.1 already. I ordered the 1.0 (i) last week. I hope to know soon. One of the reasons I went with the 1.0 (other than price) was that I assumed it was in stock and would ship right away rather than waiting for a 1.1. But I ordered over a week ago and still no ship notice. However, this assures me that it will be a good product because everything I have ordered from one of the sellers on this site and had to wait a long time for has been well worth the wait.

Let me know how they compare, I'm only 150 so the stretch is a non-issue. If i can loose 5 ounces im interested

I've got the 1.0 double, my husband has the 1.7 double. We got ours late last year before any mention of overseas sewing of the Blackbirds. So I can only compair these to each other and not to "quality" of overseas sewing.

Mine is really light weight, well made and just like my husband's 1.7, well except for color. They are different colors!!! Ridgelines are different. Mine is a thinner, smaller line. We both have the same web straps suspension, so all that is the same for both of us. Stuff sack is the same for both hammocks.

If you do decide to order one of these, you'll be able to resell your 1.1 here on this site. Or resell the 1.0 if you decide you don't like it after all.

Brandon (like the other vendors here) can be trusted to only release products that meet his high standards. He (and they) offer great customer service. If it isn't right Brandon will make it so. Order with confidence.

I've had several WBBB's (I know, I have a problem), but have recently received the new 1.0 double layer. I have not hung in it yet, but I have inspected it - just as high quality as any other WB product I've ordered. I also ordered the new Edge tarp (also made internationally) and it is superb as well.

I have the "new" WBBB 1.0 double and I love it. I am at 210lbs and I still sleep really flat in it. The craftsmanship is still top notch. Just too bad he got so big that he had to farm out. But I am sure he did not make that decision lightly.
