    Switchback 1.1 DL Light Hiker

    So, I just ordered one of these to see what all the talk was about. Anyone have an idea how long the back order is? Also, if any current users of the model can recommmend at tarp for it that would really be helpful. The lighter the better. Where and when I hang, rain is not really an issue, mostly a just in case tarp is what I need. Will the zpacks cuban hammock trap fit it or maybe a MacCat Standard?

    Looking forward to checking out this new hammock.

    I have one on order as well. I was told by Dale last week that they'd be shipping some of the backorders out this week as they are currently in production.

    Awesome! Which tarp are you hoping to use with it?

    I'll be using my MacCat Deluxe for 3 season since I intend to use the SB for my bug season hammock.

    I don't see why not. I use a OES Delux with my SB 1.9 single.
    I believe the ridgelines are the same length on the Std and Delux.

    There is a slight difference between the Standard & the Deluxe. The Standard is 125" x 84" and the Deluxe is 130" x 104". Both should work well with the LightHiker.

    I just picked up the LightHikers this morning, so we should be shipping all the back orders out this week.
