So, I love my GT Ultralight. The simple gathered end hammock with removable bug net works very well for me. Except...as it seems with all gear there's always one little thing (usually wishing it were lighter) that I'd change.
My pack is frameless, and uses a CCF pad for support. Since I carry the pad, I want to use it. Sleeping on a pad in a hammock is a real PITA as I am a restless sleeper. The pad is also a nice combo for backpacking and my 3/4 UQ. Keeps things light, and somewhat simple.
I was wishing there was an easier way for me to use my CCF pad that wasn't such a PITA when I tossed in my sleep. I thought of the double layered hammocks... and how nice it would be to put the pad in the middle there and not worry about it sliding around when I turned.... I thought some more... and a little more.... then....
I just purchased a Traveler DL 1.1 hammock. It's a little heavier than my GT U, but I think I'll just possibly sleep better and get better use out of the pad and 3/4 UQ set up.
I also have a HH Explorer Ultralight.... so this makes hammock #3.
Wonder what I'll buy next! HA! Nice to have options when I pack out!!!
